Here is something interesting:

I called Borland about the upgrade, and the guy asked me for my certificate
number for the upgrade (if you have the registered product you WILL get a
certificate in the mail)...I gave it to him, and he had my name and
address.  Fine.  However, he did NOT have what product I had purchased!  He
asked me specifically whethere I wished to upgrade from TC++ or TC++ Pro.
Well, I have the Turbo Tools but I just purchased them last week and didn't
send in the registration card yet, and thus I told him I had TC++ Pro (I
wasn't really lying).

He said okay, the upgrade is 99 dollars.

That saved me 50 dollars.  Now, I believe everything I did was legal, but
what intrigues me is the fact that they took my word on it.  They know
where I live but they DON'T know what I own?!

Interesting....
