From my experience this is what it is: FileMaker Pro 4.x ($162.95) full version or trade-up is the same product. Same price, same product, etc. FileMaker Pro 4.x comes with a mail-in coupon worth $50 that you can mail to FileMaker, Inc. to get a $50 rebate for competitive upgrades (any database). FileMaker Pro Server 3.0 is two different products. The normal one runs $816.95. The competitive upgrade one runs $248.95. Normally SQL Server, Oracle, etc (any database server) qualifies for the upgrade pricing. But I've *heard* that the upgrade version of server can be ordered without showing proof of ownership of a competitive product... But that's just what I've HEARD, not that anyone should do that.
