Dear Zeus,
What do you mean "just because it is free?" I am an Exclusive Omega
Solution Provider and Omega rejected my request for a free upgrade. Are you
saying they gave you your upgrade FREE? I got a 50% discount for being a
beta tester but nothing for being a solution provider. I paid $752.05 to
upgrade.
Regards
Patrick.
