It mentions if you buy Delphi 7 Studio now .... 'After 12 months, you can renew your Software Assurance#, and get another 12 months of assurance for just 20% of the applicable list price for Delphi.' ..... # Software Assurance can be renewed annually for 20% of the then list price of the then current Delphi version Does anyone know if this will apply to those who already have Delphi 7 as well?

We shelled out about AUD$4K for the Delphi 7 Enterprise upgrade. If we have to do it again I'm sure we'll be moving to VS.Net ... and we both lose. That's life.

All the prices for the offer are on Borland.com.au 's online shop. I presume they are rolling it out in other countries as well.

If the D7 -> D8 upgrade cost the same I for one would soon forget about the D7 problems - assuming they are fixed in D8 of course.
