Mike, Maybe I must have misunderstood. I am tired of getting various (non-FH) software upgrades as downloads and having to manage them. Are you telling me that if I buy the V4 upgrade I get a FULL disk, not a download? If that is so, it looks a better proposition. It ought to be feasible for users who can quote a genuine licence number, but few software suppliers bother. Certainly I wouldn't want to migrate to a new machine without the current full version on disk.

I might, because my time is worth something too. I think a fresh start is sometimes preferable to a sea of upgrades. However, each to his taste. Thanks anyway, Mike, for the useful aide memoire, and to Victor for a data memoire suggestion.

No John, it was a hypothetical question following on from the earlier discussion. So if you have not been following that discussion it is best if you forget it. -----Original Message----- From: family-historian-users-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:family-historian-users-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of John Lockley Sent: 05 October 2011 17:23 To: family-historian-users@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [FHU] Installing FH in Windows 7 Mike, Maybe I must have misunderstood.
