Hi

I also believe, from being a reseller of Microsoft Academic Software, that
those versions are NON-Upgradeable, I think it is stated in the license
agreement. So you would have to purchase a Full version of the software.
The Academic prices are lowered to reflect the NON upgradeable status I
believe, dont quote me on it though.

Cheers
