I had the same kind of response from Borland. I was told that if
the new owner of my old package wanted support I needed to write a
letter to Borland indicating that my old copy (with license numbers)
now belongs to the other person.
So, when I upgraded to TC++, I sold (very cheap) my old copy of TC 2.0
and sent in the letter. The buyer has just got an upgrade coupon
for TC++ from Borland as a result.
