More EE Upgrade Policy Changes
In another move to simplify how upgrades (paid and free) of ExpressionEngine work, EllisLab took the generous step of making the new upgrade policy retroactive for EE1 license holders with expired accounts.
If the Download Account was expired when the new policy went into effect, the upgrade price will still be the same as before ($50 + old renewal fee). Likewise, if the Download Account was active when the new policy went into effect, the price to upgrade to EE2 is still just $50.
That’s the meat (and potatoes) of it. Straight-forward and simple. Read Leslie’s blog post for all of the details.
