1) Lattice allows transfer and sends out updates based on their records,
not the original disk
   or manual cover.
2) For an upgrade or replacement disk, Electronic Arts usually wants
back the original disk or
   cover of the manual depending on which product you are talking about.
3) A good portion of the of the other companies want the original disk
back for the upgrade.
   (This includes games and commercial products.)

I hope this helps.
