That upgrade price is for previous versions.  You don't have a previous version
and I suspect that the upgrade install won't recognize BCB4 as a valid upgrade
product (since it isn't) and won't install.  The way around that of course is to
buy BCB3 Std and then the upgrade to BCB4 Pro, but you can't upgrade the same
version level (albeit a different SKU).
