- No, it's no secret. That's close to the educational quantity discount.
- The standard <10 pcs upgrade discount is your regular 30% or whatever your
- campus gets off.
- If you buy between 10 and 49 copies, you get a higher discount, and above
- 50 is even more. Some campuses' computer stores are putting together big
- orders for people who don't want to keep a CD-ROM (you only get 10 discs
- with the 50+ special, no matter how many licenses you buy). Contact your
- campus computer reseller for more info on any sort of group deal they
- might be doing. The purchases have to be all together on one purchase
- order to get the discount. Many campuses may have already made their
- purchases, this was announced several months ago.
- Most campuses don't want to bother with such a big production, and feel
- that most people are going to want to keep a CD-ROM for backups.
-
- No printed docs come with this upgrade, so there is no issue about that
- (that was the first thing I called about back when this was announced).
