Hi, Russell!
The usual license contract accepted when one upgrades is that the prior
product is foundational to the new one. Transfer is okay as long as ALL
copies are transferred... That includes Prior releases. In short, no you
can't accept v 6.1 of a product that has gone to v 7.0 UNLESS you are
getting the WHOLE package from the donor. The same goes for CD + 3.5 disk
packages, of course.
Sorry.
