Did I blow it?

Ok, I have to admit it has been a really, really long time since I had purchased and used Pyware. During my 20+ years in the Army band, if I wrote drill, I mainly used graph paper, because most of our guys couldn't not march very well unless it was full step, straight ahead.
Now, I teach at a school, and we are diving into field marching. I just received a copy of Pyware 3D interactive 8 from a band store, and am having drill written by a very creative and helpful fellow. I just got the first got the first movement of our show, and tried to open it on my computer - can't. Not backwards comparable. Urgh...
This school has little money, and I thought I was being frugal in purchasing a copy -just in case either 1/2 of the students quit for hate of marching, or huge numbers pour in wanting to be part of it - I could make adjustments to the drill and not have to pay to have the whole thing reworked.
I tried to find the price for the update to Pyware 9, but even though it looked in the file, it says I have no older versions. So what is this going to cost me? What am I going to have to buy to edit my drill designers files (I think he is using a beta version?).
Please let me know if I made a mistake in purchasing this copy - I only had hoped to edit drill I paid for - and if I have any recourse other than spending more money.
Thanks!
