Might I upgrade at a reasonable price my never before used, but fully
paid, license of Mathematica Link for Excel v2.1.1,

I cannot resist adding that, BTW, it is not $249 in Europe but
=E2=82=AC250, which means $375 at today's exchange rate.

* Priced at $249 (does that include Excel?)

* Windows only (at least, only Windows version listed)

* Only connects to one version of Excel (at least only one version
listed -- will upgrades for subsequent versions of Excel be supplied
free?)

* Seems to intended primarily to add Mathematica capabilities to Excel,
rather than the reverse"

"Mathematica Link for Excel is an essential tool for finance
professionals, business professionals, life scientists, engineers,
physical scientists, social scientists, educators, and others who want
to use Excel and need to expand its computational and graphical
capabilities."

* Presumably both Excel and Mathematica must be running (or accessible)
to use it.
