The "2010-license" only applies to some of the newly added EFv4 specific features (e.g. the 'complex type generator' in v 1.90). Additions and fixes to the existing features are not affected. It was a hard decision, but the choice was between making some of the new things a new product or incorporate it in the existing one. However, it had to be done to support the development of the new features. I will look into adding some reasonable renewal option for existing licenses. Will let you know... Best regards, Kristofer

As long as the % isn't too high , its probably the fairest way. Certainy I do not want to buy a 2010 license to get what just for the extras, as I probably have 90% of teh context already ,also including the profiler may dter people , having now no choice as a separate product. Hope this helps Mike

Just for clarification: there is no need to upgrade the license just to use the add-in under Visual Studio 2010 with the existing feature set. A license issued during 2010 (or upgraded using the upgrade option) is only needed to take advantage of the newest features added for Entity Framework v4: a) the EFv4 complex type extractor that was added in version 1.90, and b) the EFv4 model comparer which is being added in version 1.91, and c) other yet-to-be-announced Entity Framework v4-specific features Best regards, Kristofer edited by Kristofer on 7/18/2010
