I'd suggest avoiding the use of product codes -- it ties you to a single build if you rely on major upgrades, as some bright folks have recommended <http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/12/30/paying-for-upgrades/>.<g> If you use minor upgrades/patches, it still means changing whenever they do a major upgrade or a SxS release.
