Excellent. That's...good news? I'm sure it is, for someone! ;)
On the topic of upgrades: suppose someone purchased XE2 and needs the latest FMX library (basically bug fixes), how much would you charge?
Usually there are a couple bug fix updates for each version. After that you have to purchase an upgrade to a newer version at the regular upgrade price or be on Support and Maintenance (where you get access to new versions automatically) to get further fixes and new features.
