I'm an user of ABDialer 1. Are there discount upgrades to ABDialer 2?
Sorry but since ABDialer has such a low shareware fee, we can't sell discount upgrades because this would cost us almost the same amount as the fee it takes to sell ABDialer. However if you registered ABDialer on or after June 24, 2004 then you are eligible to a free upgrade.
