I keep getting offers for newest Flexi.
Even at the Sign Expo there was no special offer.
Why don't they offer an update instead of making you buy a whole new program?
I paid $175. the week Corel X3 came out and got the works ( cd's, manual, clip art book )
Why would I want to buy Flexi like it was the first time I ever did.
That just does'nt make sense to me.
Anyone?:rolleyes:

All of the companys aren't offering upgrades , like the old days, because they are writing them to work with XP and Mac OSX.

I had gotten a 20% off email offer on an upgrade from JSI in Atlanta. I wouldn't think anyone is suggesting that you rebuy the entire application if you are a registered user.

No one has yet given me any compelling reason to upgrade from my 7.6.2., but my business is not like that of many others. No idea what the cost is. I wish they would just bring back version 5.8.2 that would run on Win XP.

Are the discount offers you guys are getting user specific?? If not, care to share.

SignWarehouse just sent me an email saying my upgrade was being shipped out...I called to ask them why they were sending it out to me because I didn't order it. They said it was free. I asked if it was Flexi 8 they said yep...just waiting on a password? don't know what that means...I'm guessing for the donggle key.

If you bought it recently it probably included the upgrade free.

I was recently at a Flexi Training that VSS held 2 weeks ago. I inquired about the update and they gave me the same price that lilb93 was quoted, $525.
