I am fully aware of the fantastic service provided by REAL's customer service team. But, that's not the point - I still have all of my copies back to 4.5. The point was that I can't build a Linux version with 4.5 if there was a 4.5-only plugin that I was dependent on for my project to run. And 4.5 can't build Windows and 4.5 can't build UB. I was not questioning whether we could "get" the older version, but that it wouldn't give us what we needed based on the latest requirements.
