I am looking to upgrade from CGS X3 to X7 but in the UK I am not eligible for an upgrade and would have to pay the full price. In the USA, it seems that I can upgrade from any version. Why this difference?
Trik
OK, by clicking a link in this forum, I have found that I can get an upgrade from X3. However, the price is significantly higher than the US upgrade. Also, on Amazon.co.uk, I can get an upgrade version for much less than Corel's price. But would it install OK or does only Corel's version have some code that is necessary to allow a successful upgrade from X3 to X7?
As far as the price goes for some reason VAT in some cases regional costs are higher then US costs. Is it Amazon or someone else distributing the software? Let's see what a Corel person says
Amazon are offering the X7 upgrade direct, not through a distributor, and their price is £158.44. Direct from Corel UK, it is £219. VAT would be the same in both cases, of course. The difference between Amazon UK and Corel USA's price of $169 is not so great, and could be due to the exchange rate. My question still stands though re Amazon's version not missing some "This user can upgrade even though they only have X3" code![:)]
I sent a link to your post to Corel marketing on Monday we may get a response.
