Somebody writes about the LSC 3.0 upgrades... |If you haven't received your upgrade yet, when you do you'll see that |the upgrade packaging is radically different than the shelf packaging. |Although the disks probably come from the same duplicator and the manuals |from the same printer, that's about all the two packages have in common. |My upgrade arrived in a plain box with nothing but the two manuals and |shrink-wrapped disks. The only difference between the two packages is 1) the off-the-shelf comes in a nice 4-color box surrounding the cardboard container (same cardboard container as the upgrade) and 2) the upgrade doesn't include the warrenty card. Otherwise, same manual, same disks, same product advertisments. Even same plain cardboard container. And no, I don't know why Symantec doesn't canabilize the off-the-shelf packages for upgrades.
