I have a legal copy of Warp 4.0, the original version that was released around 1997/98. What is required to bring it up to 4.52? Can this be done via installing the fixpacks etc, or id 4.52 a completely new version requiring me to purchase a new licence? On Mon, 03 Feb 2003 21:25:40 -0500, "David T.
