That doesn't sound quite right. I never had such licensing agreements in 
the past, so any such offer would be for a new license. The only licenses 
I had were for "System Software and Utilities", "HyperCard 2.0" (before 
Claris took over - am I licensed for 2.0v2?), and "DoubleVision" - 
whatever that is. I might believe that it's a computer-generated form 
letter, but it shouldn't be related to any agreements about to expire.
