Copy file1 to file2

[John Esak]

So how does Tony get 4.12???
I believe he has tried over and over and over. He also actually bought 5.0,
but wants to still keep using the 4.8 he has on his first box. FP Tech has
_two_ sales under their belt (not too mention the other people tony buys
product for...) So, how does he get the update for the first copy of filePro
he bought?  Or, does FP Tech actually think he only owns _one_ copy... which
would be completely wrong. He did not buy 5.0 to upgrade his 4.8 copy. He
bought an entirely new, 2nd copy of filePro.  What is the actual scoop?
