Again I may be wrong but I think this discount idea is a fairly new one brought on somewhat by the fact there has recently been a 6 month period with almost nothing in the way of new releases. Certainly the discount has not been mentioned on the website until VERY recently.
I put it down to teething problems, certainly there is a little bit of amiguity in the conditions of the discount, and I expect they will clarify this soon...
While they are doing this a little bit of an update on the user guide might be in order, unless that has been changed in the last few days.
Anyway Norman thanks for the reply..LW is a pretty good set up most of the time
The only thing I can add is this. AFAIK LW keeps a data base of pro customers. As soon as the 6 months ( or however long it is over that) is up the e-mail addresses of those customers are removed from the database.
If an ex-pro customer e-mails, their e-mail address will not be recognised and in 99% of cases the mail will be trashed, unread.
All the Best
