Sco's upgrades are confusing


Hate these ads?

Tony,














Order the media kit (Model number CA200-UX04-5.0.7) and then for a pre
5.0.6 Host to Host you need:



LX241-UX10-5.0.7



This will take you to 507 Host. Then to go from 507 Host to 507
Enterprise
you need:


ad



LX261-X241-5.0.7



These do not add up to any where near the cost of the full product.
The difference is above $200.



Does this help?









John
