    Please see a copy of a post below, posted here on the VB forums.
    How can VB Justify the Upgrade Costs for V4?
    The cost to upgrade a VB owned licence from V3 to V4 is $170. When purchasing VB owned licences, I understood that they were owned lifetime licences and that the only future costs for using the software would be the annual membership fees - my best guess is that many other customers had the same understanding.

    In my opinion, the upgrade fee is incredible given that;
    • Competing forum software sells new licences for around $150
    • I can purchase a completely new VB 4 licence for $195. Hence, I only save $25 by upgrading (195 - 170). Surely VB 3 licences are worth more than $25!

    How can VB possibly justify an upgrade fee of $170 per licence?

    I'd be interested in members' opinions on this issue.
