If you have further questions please contact Software Plus at >888-251-7638 x4 or email [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Iowa School Select v5.1 Customers > >Upgrade Advantage > >If you are a Microsoft Select v5.1 customer you currently have the ability >under your agreement to purchase Upgrade Advantage for almost all Microsoft >products. Upgrade Advantage will only be available through July 31st, 2002. >Upgrade advantage is a way to upgrade from a previous software version and >to stay current during the duration of your Microsoft Select Agreement.
