Upgrading Veritas Volume Manager which option?

I'm currently running Veritas Volume Manager 3.0.4 on Solaris 8
with my root disk encapsulated.
I want to upgrade to Solaris 9 and Volume Manager 3.5.

Do I need a new License Key for this upgrade to 3.5 or will
my 3.0.4 license key work? Is there a charge for this new key?

Also, the upgrade guide for 3.5 says I have two options to do the
upgrade.

Option 1.

Use the pkgadd command on top of my existing software.

Option 2.

Use the upgrade_start and upgrade_finish scripts on the 3.5 CD.

Has anyone used option 1 before?? Did you have any problems? Option
1 does not unencapsulate the root disk and there could be problems
with the machine re-booting if something goes wrong.

Thank You.
