Is InstantForum 2012 a free upgrade?

The InstantForum 2012 release is a free update for customers who purchased InstantForum.NET 2010 on or after August 9th 2011. If you purchased after this date you can find the 2012 download within your My.InstantASP client area at https://my.instantasp.co.uk/MyLicenses.aspx

For customers who purchased before this date who don’t' have an active support plan you'll need to purchase the 2012 upgrade. This will follow our usual pricing modal of $79 for the single web site end user license upgrade and $189 for the single web site developer license upgrade.

The 2012 update will be free to all those who assisted and provided feedback during the BETA and release candidate phases.
