The way AutomationDirect has set it up now is to not offer the single packages anymore, reduce the price for the full package to $395.00 and provide a simple upgrade path for any existing DirectSoft software (no matter what version). To upgrade to the new DirectSOFT5 full version is $179.00 (this will last for a 90-day introductory period after which it will be $249). Compared to other PLC software packages this is a great deal! This means that even if you have the DirectSOFT Release 2 for the 05/105 and you upgrade to Release 5 you end up with the full blown package that supports all the CPUs. 2ff7e9595c
