I know that similar posts have been made but I don't think that this
question has had an official answer.
I have a 4.16 licence and would like to use version 5.0 and I'm not sure if
this is a free upgrade.
How do I tell definitively if I have to pay for the upgrade or if I am
entitiled to a free upgrade?
Thanks

Take a look into your license.key file and locate the line
Program version: 5
If this line contains the version number 5, you're good to go and
can simply download the release version 5.0.0, install and use it.
If it has a version number lower than 5, you'll need to get an
update. In that case please contact sales@cadsoftusa.com or your
local dealer about the price.
All new licenses that have been issued after 2007-08-05 are already
valid for version 5.
My license file contains a number lower than 5, but I have a question
about the date:
2007-08-05 is 5th August 2007 or 8th May 2007?
I bought Eagle Professional on 11th May 2007.
Thanks

I hope the local dealer will grant any discount for the upgrade. I can't
buy again the product at full price 
Monday I'll ask him.

It's in ISO notation, so it's 5th August 2007.

There are considerable discounts, so you don't have to buy the product
again

Ok, thanks for the quick answer!

Thanks to all for their responses.
Unfortunately my licence is for program version 4.1, I got it in April 2007
so I'm going to have to convince my manager to buy the upgrade...
