MPLAB C18 Upgrade and Standard Evaluation Versions?

Hi all,

I have a confusing problem; I don't understand what the difference between MPLAB C18 Upgrade and Standard Evaluation Versions is

Could you make me clear about that?

Thanks in advance!

Evaluation Version
The Standard-Eval Version is free! It has all the features of the full compiler and libraries. After 60 days, the optimizations related to procedural abstraction and to the extended instruction set of the newer PIC18XXXX devices will be disabled. Code compiled after the expiration date will function but may occupy more memory space.

The Upgrade version is only usful if you have purchased the C18 compiler - it upgrades it to the latest version. You need a Serial Number to install it.
