WOOPS!!
With all my excitement I forgot I purchased DP 5.13 a couple of months ago... and I just pre-ordered DP6 by paying $195
Duh! Now I'm confused... if I bought DP5.13 a few months ago, should I have payed for the upgrade from 5.13 to 6 again??
I just did

Nope. You'd better call MOTU in the morning. There is a PDF order form which will give you the upgrade for free:FMiguelez wrote:Duh! Now I'm confused... if I bought DP5.13 a few months ago, should I have payed for the upgrade from 5.13 to 6 again??

pre-orders are probably not yet CHARGED orders
If you haven't done so yet, definitely call MOTU Customer Service. In the past a pre-order means that you aren't charged until the package is ready to ship; so I'm sure it'll be easy to cancel the paid pre-order and get your free upgrade queued up instead.FMiguelez wrote:.

Correct. I upgraded from DP4.61 to 5.13. I think it was a similar amount

I'll take care of this on Monday
