I'm afraid that PBP upgrades will no longer be offered through distributors. When purchased from melabs, the upgrade key will be delivered electronically.

You don't need any sort of registration number to order the upgrade, though you are required to create an account at our store. The account allows us to track your eligibility for future free upgrades, and it records your activation key in case you misplace it.

Order upgrades here:
http://store.melabs.com/cat/PBPUP.html

Users that have never registered PBP will be asked for proof of purchase after the order is placed. Registered users will receive an activation key shortly after ordering.

A pdf of the new manual is included with the software download. Distributors may opt to offer the printed manual, but it will take some time for new inventory to arrive.

As always, you are encouraged to upgrade, but not required to. The upgrade price includes one year of free upgrades.
