Is there any hope for students who purchased Studio MX2004 within 90 days of Studio8 being released?

People who purchased the commercial version of Studio MX04 within 90 days got the free upgrade, but students who did the same are left to pay for an upgrade.

So is the fact that you can not get an upgrade by owning either Firewoks or Freehand an indication that these products are about to be killed off? If so, too bad, Fireworks was the best product for web graphics, bar none.

Hi Chris -
No, this has nothing to do with plans for the future of either Fireworks or Freehand. There are no plans to discontinue development of either tool.
