Upgrades are included in the price. For £40 per computer you can use any version of the software (Windows, Office, Works, Visual Studio, Encarta), and also new versions when they are released at no extra cost. You do also have to buy a copy of the media CDs (which are admittedly over priced at £30), but you only need one copy).
