Are you sure about the people who received the free copy having to pay for the upgrade? I just went to the Pocket Informant 8 web page (Welcome to WebIS.net - Pocket Informant 8) and was advised by WebIS that I was eligible for a free upgrade.

Is the intention for this to focus on aspects of PI8 that are not being covered by a previous thread on the same subject or should it be merged?

Awesome upgrade from PI 2007. Worth every cent of it.

According to the forum in WebIS, Alex did make it clear that free copies from the various promotions have to pay for the upgrade.

Don't misunderstand me; what you say is what I would have expected. However, as a matter of historical fact, when I entered my email address on the WebIS Pocket Informant 8 Upgrade web page, it advised me that I was eligible for the upgrade for free. Thinking that the web page would correct itself if I selected the upgrade link, it went ahead and provided me with the Registration code for version 8.

Maybe that's true only for me, but I doubt it.

Perhaps someone should advise Alex/WebIS that there is an error on their web page. I certainly don't want to cheat the developers of such a fine piece of software.

I sent an e-mail yesterday (1/9/2008) to WebIS to confirm this:

Handango and Aximsite gave away copies of Pocket Informant 2007 this last week before version 8 was announced. Will these users be able to upgrade their copies? If so, what will be the price to do so? I would like to put this information on the front page news for Aximsite.

No, those copies will require the paid upgrade price available on our site.

Yes, I also see that in the text of their website, but words aside, the historical fact is that when I upgraded directly from the WebIS website, I was given the upgrade for free. I sent you a private message on this a few days ago, but never received a reply.

I was trying to get upgrade from Webis site and after I put my e-mail in the text box it says no records in their database about me. I bought PI about year ago and recently got another free copy from aximsite and they still doesn't have my records.

Interesting, how I supposed to get an upgrade then for 19$, or I have to pay full price?
I was thinking to get PI 8 for my smartphone and keep PI 7 on my pocket PC. But...

try logging into the aximsite store... if you look at your past purchases you can get the link to upgrade at the $16 rate
