I just received my update to version 1.1, and have a warning (or is this an "undocumented feature?") :( <flame on> You must have your serial number ready when you install the update. If not, and if you follow their directions regarding erasing your old version before installing the new one, then you are locked out of Fullwrite, and of course, all your Fullwrite documents. I don't mind having to verify my serial number, but (a) they didn't take the time to print it anywhere on their letter to me, a registered user (instead, just "Serial Number on file"), and (b) they didn't warn me that I was going to need it in order to update it. If they trust me enough to mail me the disk unasked for, then they ought to handle this "copy protection" issue more favorably for their registered users! <flame off> ~~~Jim -- Thirty thousand mighty suns shone down in a soul- *jfbrule@nova.npac.syr.edu searing splendor that was more frighteningly cold ************************** in its awful indifference than the bitter wind * Isaac Asmiov that shivered across the cold, horribly bleak world.* "Nightfall"

>You must have your serial number ready when you install the update. >I don't mind having to verify my serial number, Yeah, it was a pain. I loaded it in and set it up, then had to go digging into the files for the original disks. I can imagine how happy someone who's update was at work and who's disks were at home would be. I *did* try to use the serial number on the update disk ("On File") but FullWrite didn't accept that for some reason. While this is the same installation procedure they required for 1.0, they could have made it either less painful or better documented...

I didn't know there was an update to FWP in the works, much less available. Can anyone shed any light on this?

I have a copy of FullWrite professional and it is only version 1.0 . Does
anyone know how I can upgrade to 1.1? I can send in the original disks
but am curious to know if there is a upgrade patch program or the like.
Thanks for any help.
