CC-Pro adds a lot of new tools, mainly aimed at speeding up mapping by
circumventing the learning curve somewhat. There are some additional
interface niceties, too. However, Pro is essentially "6+" - before
upgrading, try d/l the current Universal Upgrade from ProFantasy's site
(you need to register CC to do so) and run that. I *think* (not 100%
sure - I went from CC2 5 to Pro) CC2 6 -> Pro is encapsulated by the UU.
The version of CC2 I use is 6.12.

The UU upgrades all of your add-ons. It figures out which ones you
have, and upgrades them accordingly. So, no, you don't have to purchase
the add-ons again. I don't think you even have to purchase CC2-Pro,
either - try the UU first, then go from there.
