But the "special service" was meant to have commented! games and prog updates included as told e.g. in the CA 5.1 handbook!! This "special service" should be done for subscribed owners of CA 5.1 who should have got an extra registration number for this...but seems not to exist now...maybe a while ago it did, but I dont know.
