Hi Chris The promo code is not really used, unless it was a "special offer". Not so much for your old code. According to quick google search, and this link, you'll be eligible:- <http://www.filemaker.com/purchase/store/buying_faq.html#1> (Bear in mind pricing is in USD) But it says,.. ---quote--- FileMaker Pro 8 US$179.00 until Sep. 23, 2010. After Sep. 23, 2010, purchase full version for US$299.00* ---end quote---
So you should be fine. You didn't look locally to see if you can get it cheaper rather then buying online? Hope that helps.
