I bought Captivate 8 student/teacher edition only 1 month ago, and now Captivate 9 has been released. Is there option for teachers to upgrade other than having to buy the new version outright again? Particularly seeing I only bought it a month ago and no one advised that there would be a new release so soon.

    Hi Adso, see this page - if you purchased direct from Adobe within the past 30 days, then you may be able to get the new version instead:

    Do I qualify for a free upgrade?

    Great! Thank you very much. I have followed through and made a request. I am bang on the threshold so fingers crossed.

    Sure, glad to help! 

    Adobe's Return/Refund Policy for perpetual products is 30 days, and you may want to initiate one of those as well (just in case) - so that one way or the other, you can hopefully effect a product exchange.

    Good luck with it and please let us know how things turn out.
