Easy, discounted upgrade for registered users

If you’re a registered user of TurboNote+ v6.6 or earlier, we’ve made it easy to try out the new version. TurboNote+ 7.0 will install over the top of your existing installation in seconds, preserving all your existing notes and settings. You’ll have 30 days to check it out, then the major new features will be disabled.

BUT, even if you decide not to buy a registration upgrade, you'll still have everything you have in your current version, plus many improvements.

Once you're running the new version, get a generous discount by using the Upgrade Now link from the tray icon menu to buy a 7.0 license.

That will take you to the online registration form with an automatic discount, dropping the price from the standard $US29.97 down to $US23.97.

Remember — to get access to the Upgrade button and the discount, you'll need to download and install 7.0 first.
