Until September 15, 2005, a Manifold 6.00 licensee may upgrade from
6.00 to 6.50 for a very low price. After September 15, 2005, the price of the 6.50 upgrade will increase substantially until December 15, 2005, at which point the upgrade offer will be discontinued.  You will need a
valid Manifold 6.00 serial number when placing the order.

The Upgrade to 6.50 product will automatically upgrade your 6.00
license to the equivalent 6.50 license.  For example, if you have 6.00
Professional with Debugger the Upgrade to 6.50 will automatically upgrade you to 6.50 Professional with Debugger. 

If you are a user of Business Tools, Surface Tools or the Option Pack,
by upgrading to 6.50 your Business Tools and Surface Tools license will automatically be upgraded to 6.50 level as well. There is no need to
order anything else but the Upgrade to 6.50.

If you acquired 6.00 on or after June 1, 2005, you do not need to order the Upgrade to 6.50.  You will automatically receive a 6.50 upgrade at no charge, sent to you by Priority Mail in the US or by Global Priority or First Class mail outside the US.

If you are a user of Manifold Geocoding Data you can continue using the same Geocoding Data DVD.  There is no need to ordre a new Geocoding Data DVD as this product will not be updated until after the Census Bureau completes issuing the 2004 version of TIGER/Line, probably late this year.

6.50 Highlights

6.50 delivers over 630 improvements in 6.00 and was hailed by beta
testers as by far the best Manifold release ever.  See the News page at http://www.manifold.net/news for links to the 6.50 Highlights page.

As always, in addition to the main focus areas for the release there
are literally hundreds of improvements throughout 6.50 to make your work with Manifold even smoother and more productive.

Beta testers have been extremely pleased with 6.50 - extensive beta
testing shows that 6.50 is absolutely rock solid and provides better
quality than even Manifold 6.00 SP1, a release well-known for outstanding reliability.
