This is a bit weird imo.  I too ordered the Gold to Platinum, 4 to 5 
upgrade, and my dealer's guess was that it should arrive in a few 
weeks (not months).  The manual story doesn't seem to hold much water 
either, since, as far as I know, the Gold and Platinum manuals are 
the same.  Or at least: in the Gold manual e.g. all plug-ins are 
treated, but it's mentioned which of them are platinum only.  Ditto 
for TDM hardware support and other platinum-only features.

As for the dongle: since we're talking about a completely new 
install, how can there be a technical difference between the update & 
upgrade dongles?

So personally I guess I would be just as happy with the Platinum 
updater, as I can't see how it's supposed to differ from the 
Gold-Platinum upgrade.

Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious though...


cheers,
