I believe that the upgrade coupon for SuperPaint2 that I got with my
commercial Word4 upgrade is also for $50.  I'd therefore assume that Silicon
Beach will send you the full package.  As a disclaimer, I'm doing this from
memory, and might be off a bit, but it was a 2 digit sum, and $50 sounds
right.  Also, I suppose it would be _possible_ (as opposed to likely) that
a company would send the full product to one group and a partial product to the
"educational" group for the same price; though I really doubt that SB would
do this.
