Hopefully, you spoke to soon. I just got a second upgrade offer in the
mail, about a week after to first. If Niles is being reasonable, this
should correspond to the second of the two licenses I own. So I've mailed
it back with my money to up-grade the copy the students use in my lab. I
mailed the first one back last week. I'm expecting to get two upgrades and
no hassles. Several other software upgrades have gone this way recently.
But I agree, the flier definately reads as if it was to be interpreted as
one upgrade per "person."
