You're looking at the wrong serial number, it's as simple
as that (fortunately)!

You're already running PrintFIX PRO; that means you DO have the
Datacolor 1005 spectro; and that you DO have a serial number that starts
with 890710. When you launch the PrintFIX PRO software, it will
come up and display all of that serial number (and you'll also
see it in the "About" dialog), minus the last 4 digits, which are
X'd out.

As I said before, you can simply download, install, and use
Spyder3Print 3.5 as a free upgrade; it won't cost you a penny.

Before you do this: let's just make sure your serial number is
correct; email me off-list at davem@... and I'll get
you set.

Yes, you would get Spyder3Pro, which gives you the new Spyder3 sensor
and software. You would simply install that (new display calibration
hardware and software) and use them in place of your older Spyder2
hardware and software.

You will not need to spend any additional money on printer profiling
at all. Your sensor is what we continuing to ship, and all you need
is the newer software to bring yourself up to date.
