Internet Special for new customers

As shown above, pricing for new customers is regularly up to $200 more than the annual update price. However, for a limited time we will waive the $200 "entrance fee" and allow you to use update pricing for your first purchase. If you want to place an order, enter NEW where you are asked for your Lifetime Serial Number. We will issue you a Lifetime Serial Number of your own once your order is processed.
