The packaged version comes with a printed "Quick Start Guide", which is a portion of the manual. The full manual is in PDF form on the CD, or available for download on the website, as well as being available through eNovel.

In the past updates, which typically include bug fixes and sometime small feature additions, have been free. Upgrades, to a new version number, such as 6.0, contain many more new features, and have a price. There is no "time limit" for eligibility for either of these.

Outside of upgrade offsers, "special pricing" offers are limited time offers.

At least, that's how I think it goes. I work in Engineering, not Sales nor Marketing <g>.
