I have bitten the bullet today and bought a 2nd hand as good as new MacBookPro.
Now is the time to get my FTM up to date as I’m still on 2006.
I have had little joy on price comparison websites looking to get the best deal. The only thing was a link to MyHistory and they were selling it full price DVD version for £89.95 - yikes!!
The best I have come up with in a general Google search was a link to upgrade deals on mackiev’s own site. They are offering a DVD version for £69.95 but I’m not sure of a few things.
1. My previous version is Windows so will this upgrade dvd work for me or will it fail on install?
2. There seems to be a load of expensive add ins like Charting Companion which previously I had as part of the package. Should I buy this?
3. It now seems that if I want to install on up to 3 pcs, it will cost me £20 extra for the privilege. My old version allowed me to install wherever I wanted.
4. Am I right in thinking the dvd now comes with both Windows and Mac versions on it and you choose which you want at installation? As I still have a Windows laptop which I intend keeping for a good while till I am sure I can get on with the Mac environment, a choice of install would be great which might tempt me to part with the extra cash for up to 3 machines.
If anybody can help with the above, I would be most grateful. If it turns out that I can’t use the upgrade for the reason mentioned in 1., and I need a full version, where can I get the best price?
