Tip - if you plan to upgrade: With Windows Server 2008 in sight and Microsoft’s plan for the next version of Windows Installer, it’s likely that you will also want to get InstallShield 2009 next year. In this case you can save money if you buy version 2008 with a maintenance plan, because the extra charge for maintenance is less than the price for a single upgrade. Note that you must buy the maintenance plan bundled with InstallShield 2008; it’s not possible to buy maintenance separately.
