Jim,
I think what he's saying is... (correct me if I'm misinterpreting, Bill)
If the product line consists of Proxy Server 1.0 -> Proxy Server 2.0 ->
Proxy Server 3.0 -> ISA Server 2000 -> ISA Server 2004 -> ISA Server 2006 ->
TMG and...
SA is paid for PS1, PS2, PS3, ISA2K, ISA2K4, ISA2K6 then...
since SA was paid for each and every version in the product line wouldn't
that entitle the customer to TMG...
even though they're still running ISA2K4?
I don't think they're asking if SA paid for on ISA2K4 (or PS1 for that
matter) simply rolls over into ISA2K6.
