Upgrading to Version 3?
I bought Marine Aquarium Ver 2.5 that came with a free upgrade to version 2.6 which I currently have running and which allows me to run Ver 3 Beta without entering a KeyCode. I was wondering what is involved for me to be able to move to Ver 3 without spending lots more money. Thanks for any info.
P.S. Beta 3 is running great on my system. |
How do I purchase Marine Aquarium 3?
Marine Aquarium 3 Beta will accept Marine Aquarium 2.6 keycodes. Marine Aquarium 3 Final is free to recent purchasers of Marine Aquarium 2.6. Purchasers of Marine Aquarium 1, 2, or 2.6 before a certain date will be able to purchase an upgrade to Marine Aquarium 3 for a price which has yet to be determined. |
And the upgrade won't cost "lots more money". :)

I'll do everything I can to be fair, but if I give it away to everyone it makes me wonder why I spent 6 years working on it.

I am still not clear on the upgrade policy. Is the free upgrade to Ver 3 for those who buy Ver 2.6 or those who also upgrade to ver 2.6? I purchased the aquarium awhile back in the store and it came on a CD ( Version 2.5 and it came with a free upgrade to 2.6). If I pay and upgrade to ver 2.6 does this entitle me to free Ver 3 key or do I have to purchase Ver 2.6 (not the upgrade to 2.6). If the upgrade to 2.6 gets the Ver 3 key then I will head on over Serene Screen and upgrade to 2.6.

But how you choose to deal with this is, of course, your call. |
Dreamster - A permanent MA3 Key is free to anyone who currently pays full price for MA2.6. This is in a effort to get sales going. Realizing that someone who bought v2.6 just a couple of days ago might feel cheated, we've decided to make this deal retroactive for, say, the past 30 days. Owners of older v2.6 Keys would ahve to pay an upgrade charge of $9.95. Regarding truly old-time customers, we've always been pretty generous to them, on a case-by-case basis. The Beta test versions should recognize ALL v2.6 Keys, but will expire after 7 days.
pvernam - One way of looking at it is that if they had bought v2.6 5 years ago, they got 5 years of enjoyment, and now would need to pay to upgrade to the new version. If they just bought v2.6 yesterday, they might be upset that they could have gotten v3 for the same price if they just waited one more day. It's amazing how upset people get over these issues. You wouldn't believe the names I get called in emails. Even at full price, this is a $20 item. Last night I spent twice that on pizza, which is only a distant memory now. (And the pizza place charged me full price, even though I already bought pizza from them last week. Shouldn't this week's upgrade have been free?) In the world of software, MA is the all-time bang-for-the-buck champion. Never in history have as many people impressed their friends with any other $20 program. Just as a comparison, I spent $2500 on Lightwave (the program I use to create the 3D objects in the Aquarium). Then there were several upgrades to Lightwave, at about $600 each. |

I qualify for the upgrade when it comes out but I'm going to pay full price for it anyway. It's worth it!
