The update includes some minor improvements, fixes and the device agent is now Microsoft M2M certified. However, the update it seems does not include an updated animated graphic for the <a href="http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&amp;SubCmd=PCPro">product information page;</a> as you can see it still shows the MPx200. ;-) So if you were having a problem with your current version or haven't upgraded to the 5.xx version, then I would recommend taking a look at this update. For the current owners of the 5.xx version, this is a free upgrade.

While I love the product I think the increase in price and upgrade policy ammounts to price gaudging.

Here's why.
They only follow a 8 month instead of 12 month free upgrade time period.

So even though I upgraded to 5.04 in January I'm not eligible for this minor upgrade. So I have to pay $35 bucks again? Does that make sense?

I upgrade my products religiously and I'm willing to pay, but theirs is totally unfair. So I'm keeping my 5.04 until they come out with a 6. And I'll follow my own reasonable upgrade rules where this product is concerned. I can't see shelling out 35 bucks every 8 months for this thing.
35 bucks a year yes but every 8 months no.

interesting... I see what you're looking at, and I figured that was in regards to full version upgrades. I didn't think it meant point upgrades. From what I've seen, this is a free upgrade to existing version 5 users.

I purchased version 5.04 in Jan. I installed the upgrade and my reg code doesn't work.
