The difference, I guess, is that Omni actually generated a full serial number for the old version (which was then eligible for upgrade pricing), whereas Smile is just giving you the upgrade pricing directly. Based on Apple&rsquo;s stated reasoning before, I would expect for them to have a problem with this, too. But perhaps (hopefully) the unwritten rules have changed again.<\/p>\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2013\/09\/05\/the-gatekeeper-and-the-keymaster\/\">The Gatekeeper and the Keymaster<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2013\/08\/28\/omnikeymaster\/\">OmniKeyMaster<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smile: Top features you&rsquo;ve requested in v11: Split-view mode for editing New Font Bar for expressive font control Import scans from Continuity Camera Customize page-number locations Add multiple items to the Library at once Option to turn off guides Medical\/Legal dictionaries for OCR (English language) Automatic deskew independent of OCR [&#8230;] Interestingly, they are offering [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"apple_news_api_created_at":"2019-05-16T20:29:08Z","apple_news_api_id":"d35ba5fe-b551-42d4-b2f5-7b8e051c75c0","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2019-05-17T20:39:44Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A01ul_rVRQtSy9XuOBRx1wA","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[101,30,32,39,1609,390],"class_list":["post-25286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology","tag-business","tag-mac","tag-macapp","tag-macappstore","tag-macos-10-14","tag-pdfpen"],"apple_news_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25286"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25286\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25305,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25286\/revisions\/25305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
