Hello all! Here are a few questions about the 4.0 upgrade to that wonderful 3d Studio program… Do we have to trade in (and be without) our all precious dongle, or is this a different upgrade? Do we keep our old manuals and get new ones, or do we send those in too? What kind of pricing is there for educational users and how is the upgrade done ? Thank you very much Steve H.

<<Do we have to trade in (and be without) our all precious dongle, or is this a different upgrade?>> Autodesk would never present an upgrade program which would put the end user out of production, even temporarily. <<,Do we keep our old manuals and get new ones, or do we send those in too?>> I believe the upgrade package will only have manuals for the new Release 4 features, but I am not sure, so don't take that as the final word. <<What kind of pricing is there for educational users and how is the upgrade done ?>> Educational pricing will be available, but I don't have that information in front of me. Educational versions of R1 or R2 are not upgradable. I beleive Educational copies of R3 are upgradable through your dealer. -Brian

Steve: Judging from previous upgrades, you will get a new box with new disks and new documentation but no lock, since you already have one. David
