Sue You can always upgrade any version of Family Historian by buying the latest full version. That will automatically detect your previous version (any previous version) and automatically upgrade you. We do sell upgrade products, but these are only for people who are wanting to do a 'single-step' upgrade from the previous version to the current version (e.g. we now offer a v3 to v4 upgrade, and shortly we will have upgrades available from v4 to v5), and the only advantage they have is that - for single step upgrades only - they're cheaper. If you are wanting to upgrade more than one step (e.g. from v2 to v5) you should buy the full version of v5 when it's out (it's due out in March). Or if you prefer you can buy v4 now from one of the resellers who are offering a free upgrade to v5 when it's out, for people who buy v4 now (see our website at www.family-historian.co.uk for a list of resellers offering this). Hope that makes sense.
