I doubt that the Action Pack Subscription version is "upgradeable" since we
don't really "own" the product (please no license vs. own arguments). If
they let us buy the upgrade and we then end our subscription what would
happen then?

Again...I don't have a volume licensing administrator b/c I am a Small
Business and I serve other small businesses.
