This has probably benn posted before, but ... How does one prove that one is eligible for an upgrade to 2.0? In other words, how does one verify the fact that he/she is in actuality an owner of a copy of A/UX. The reason I bring this up is because I bought a copy of A/UX 1.1 used from the net on a pair of DC2000 tapes. So what are my options? I spent about 8 weeks last year going around and around in circles with Apple trying to get them to admit the fact that I was an owner of A/UX, but it wound up as a no-go. Am I forever locked in wiyh my 1.1 copy? Inquiring minds couldn't give a damn, but I'd like to know. David

I probably have the "Unix license" or whatever still stashed with the tape. Do we deal directly with Apple, APDA or EEEEEEK an A/UX dealer about getting the upgrade? >this up is because I bought a copy of A/UX 1.1 used from the net on a pair >of DC2000 tapes.

I spent about 8 weeks last year Yeah I have 1.1 (no not 1.1.1) on tape and I'd like to get 2.0 on CD-ROM. >going around and around in circles with Apple trying to get them to admit >the fact that I was an owner of A/UX, but it wound up as a no-go.

And by the way is the "update" CD the same as the regular release CD? ie are they one and the same or just deltas to move a pre 2.0 system to a 2.0 state?
