filmscanners: Silverfast AI vs/now upgrade info

["JackG" <jackg@poboxes.com>]

Hi Tris,

It's been a while since I upgraded and it is early in the morning, but as I
recall I just had to enter the serial numbers on the package the CD came in
to prove ownership.I may have sent a fax of the receipt to them but I don't
recall. I don't remember the name of the woman that helped me but it was not
Annie. She was very helpful.

| Well, we'll see how this flies.  Someone named Annie got back to me this
| evening from SilverFast in Florida. She gave me the correct URL for the
$10
| upgrade of AI. The fly in the buttermilk is SilverFast wants me to provide
| "proof of purchase." Now I was forced to send in my original receipt
| (stupid me, I never made a copy) and the bar code off the packing box in
| order to get my $200 rebate from Polaroid. I've asked this Annie what else
| might serve as "proof" for SilverFast. I have my fingers crossed but I
| don't know. <g>
|
| Annie didn't mention the HDR either way so I suppose the upgrade for that
| now is the straight $45.
