your web page says if you had an upgrade to Adobe Pro XI you can install Adobe Livecycle for free. Why can't I install for free?

Livecycle can be installed for free if you upgraded to Adobe Pro XI which we did and when we tried to do the Adobe Livecycle free we were told we had to buy it individually despite having upgraded to Adobe Pro XI!  Below is straight out of their site.  How can this be?

Is Adobe Designer included in Acrobat XI Pro? 

  

  

Adobe Designer software is now sold separately. Visit the Adobe Designer product page for details. Customers who upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro are also eligible for a free upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Designer.
