From now until the final release in mid-May, anyone who wishes can pre-register for Odysseus for $20. Once Odysseus is upgraded to Open Beta later this month, the license number will allow them to register the Open Beta version, as well as the final 1.0 release in May. As with licenses purchased after 1.0 is released, pre-registration licenses entitle a person to receive free upgrades throughout the 1.x product cycle.
