Upgrading from Director 7 to Director 11

Question

On the Adobe web site I see that only users owning versions
of Director MX and above qualify for a discount. I will like to see
a price break for users of older versions of Director. I own
Director 7 and I will like to upgrade to Director 11. Paying the
full price is not feasible.

Actually, it appears they are offering the upgrade price for
8.5 as well
(not that it helps you with 7).
Macromedia used to allow for license transfers, (not sure how
that works
with adobe now), so you could buy a used copy, then upgrade.
In fact
there is an ebay auction right now for an 8.5 cd/key. You
might make
sure that it is still transferable though.
I went the ebay way for my upgrade to MX2004 way back in the
Macromedia day and was able to get the seller to sign off to the
transfer of ownership... the Adobe link can be found here:
