In my last posting I said that I had long discussions with some people from JPI (tech & sales) on the CeBIT. I did not have my voucher with me and did not remember exactly what was stated on it and the people from JPI did not even know that these vouchers exist. I have M2 extended and C normal and asked for a upgrade to M2 3.0 and C++ 3.0 and they offered my a quite expensive upgrade (about $200). When I came back home and looked on my voucher (the same you have I guess) I called JPI in England and was told (after talking to several people) that, if such a voucher exists (they seemed not to know about it) it can be used for free M2 (including source) + half price C++. For C I might have to pay. Our friends in England should know more about it, I was told in my last call that they have received their upgrade offers and that we (in Germany) will get it next week. People in the states might have to wait longer. Gerhard PS: My experience on the CeBIT was quite annoying. The guy I talked to on the CeBIT told me that I would get CeBIT discount from them and that he has told the german distributor to do the same. The german distributor told me that he was not told anything about discounts and that he was not willing to give any. JPI had sent me a CeBIT voucher by mail, I got another voucher + a mail envelope!!! but when I looked at it at home i noticed that it was valid only on CeBIT and when I called JPI in England I was told the same and that I can use only one 50% voucher anyway. (Why do they sent me a second voucher if only one (the grey, double one you have) is valid.
