Upgrade from TBM v5 to V6

Hello

I've been informed by RWS/SDL that upgrading from the TBM Desktop v5 to the V6  is not possible and it requires purchasing a brand-new license (therefore full price of a new one).

Can anyone confirm whether this is correct?

I've bought my Desktop V5 license and I have to say i'm not very happy about the idea of buying yet again another new license in lieu of an upgrade
