    Caveat emptor. The site also said it was an upgrade.

    $30 is a fair price to learn to read the full agreement or product description.
    Ah, but the site also said:

    "Note: If you're not upgrading from Windows Vista Home Premium, you may need to perform a custom installation. Please visit this link to learn more-click here."

    From what it sounds like, if you bought the upgrade, you may select Custom Install during the installation process. Would you like to explain this?

    Not necessarily.. you will need to have a qualified, activated version in order for the OS to install though ... There are pages and pages of discussions regarding this issue ... you may want to read over them via google.. good luck..

Hi, I read on this forum about a week or so ago people were having problems installing the Student offer provided by Digital River. Have these problems now been resolved? As I am looking at downloading the Pro Verison.
