SOLVED Quick question about license

[Evanski]

I already own the permanent desktop license.
I'd like to get the one that includes HTML exports but its $149 USD.

The desktop license was already $100 USD.

So my questions are as follow.

If i buy the new license, is it added on or replace my old one?
Can I get it at a discounted price seeing as I already have a pre-existing license?

I feel like the IDE was $100 basic default.
I feel like im forced to repay that so I get added HTML exports, rather then just a fee to add to my existing license.

Any thing to help me understand this better would be great thanks.

If you buy the HTML5 export module it will be added on to your account and allow you to export to that platform. The licence is the same but you will have the html5 export add-on added to it.

Think of it like this:
Any license available for purchase is an export license.
Also, any active license unlocks the base software. There is no license specifically for unlocking all features of the IDE.
Studio 1.x used to have a more clear-cut separation at the start with Professional being the base (and Windows export) and everything else being exports. Now everything is exports with the base tacked on.

What you paid for with the Desktop module is the ability to export to Windows, Mac OS and Ubuntu.

Added.

Outside of special sales or upgrade path promotions, unfortunately no.
