“You might try registering it, then wait a few days and download the certificate of distruction and apply for the platform change.”
Do you have a link for that document? Can’t seem to find it anywhere… I think that might only apply to same-platform upgrades. But maybe I could do an XP upgrade and then apply for a straight 6.5 swop (if thats possible).
As for the eligibility issue, their site says you can upgrade from as low as version 3.x, I’m going to go with your advice and ring them again on monday, see if I can get some sympathy 🙂 …
