If you are paying $50 for the upgrade you should be getting all the stuff a regular upgrade includes. Though, I suppose that if you didn't reserve an academic upgrade by the deadline (the deadline for getting a regular upgrade for $50 instead of $75), the academic version might then cost $50. >-=- >Stephen N.
