Re: scenarist 3.1 vs 3.2

From the release notes. You do have to pay for the upgrade if you do not have the Sonic Support.

Scenarist SD 3.2 includes the following enhancements:
• The Activator Code dialog now shows the dongle serial number.
• SST Subtitle files can be dragged and dropped directly from Windows Explorer on to a track or on an empty
subpicture stream in Track Editor.
• Scenarist SD now supports importing chapter lists and Sonic StreamData™ files.
