Previously Enterprise and now Complete owners automatically became
Developer Program members and no one else. What I ASSUME (foolish I know)
is that the current offer being emailed out is for ANYONE to become a
member of the Developer Program so they can help RunRev iron out 6.0, even
if all they have is an old Personal version of LC for Win on Desktop.

This is what I understand by the emails "any update" rather than offering a
discount on 'upgrading' to Complete.

Looking at my account I have two Licenses; a Commercial License at 5.5, and
a Personal License just for iOS at 5.0. At some point I clicked the 'Buy
Addon' for iOS for my Commercial License, so my Personal License sits there
doing nothing. The Personal License has no Desktop, so all those options
have 'Buy addon' next to them, only iOS has an 'Update addon' button, which
would bring it up to 5.5 - pointless as I already have it under my
Commercial License.

But my ASSUMPTION is if I did purchase that 'update' I would have access to
6.0 on iOS - which at only $33 is a lot cheaper access to 6.0 than the $749
to upgrade to Complete.

What is strange is I ASSUME if I spent $99 'Buy addon' 'Desktop Deployment:
Mac + Windows' on my Personal License I wouldn't get 6.0 because it isn't
an 'update'.

Stranger still, I ASSUME if I spent $400 to 'upgrade' my Personal License
to Commercial (illogical for me, but thinking of someone who had just a
Personal License) I again wouldn't qualify for 6.0 because it's not an
update.

Update, Upgrade and Addons, very confusing as to what gets access to test
6.0, so hopefully the cc to Heather will clarify.

Thanks
