Summary: Upgrade? Bahahahahaaaaaa
Review: Despite what it says on the box, upgrading from a version other than 4.x is a pain, assuming you can even do it. As I was struggling thru failure messages I finally was directed by the install program to a page on their web site ... which it turns out does not even exist. Broken link. Duh. I gave up (it was late at night), wrote them a cheery letter thru their web feedback page, and have heard nothing in 3 weeks. I am not a satisfied customer.
