Almost ready to upgrade CNC11 to CNC12 and I'm a bit confused.
I didn't think that there was a cost to upgrade from CNC11 to CNC12. But I now see that there is a cost if upgrading to version 4.16. Is there the same cost to upgrade to version 4.14?
I had not heard of pro and ultimate versions. I thought that I had the highest version, but I don't know.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Re: CNC11 to CNC12 Upgrade Questions
4.14 is the last version of servo that uses the "option" format. Earlier version can upgrade to this for free and retain all of your existing option unlocks.
4.16 servo incorporates the "level" format. There is no cost for the free version of this, but you might loose some of the existing options you have. There is a small cost to upgrade to the pro version, but I'd bet you'll get a lot of additional useful options you didn't already have for much less than you would have previously paid to unlock them.

Re: CNC11 to CNC12 Upgrade Questions
Thanks! For version 4.16, I would need the ultimate version. 2500 digitizing points won't cut it for me. Only Ultimate has unlimited digitizing.
So do I understand correctly that if I upgrade to version 4.14 it would be free and I don't lose any benefits?
If so, what does version 4.16 offer over version 4.14 that I might care about? I don't mind spending some money if it makes sense to, but I am not sure what it would cost me to upgrade to 4.16 ultimate.
