You're correct in saying that you can't go from the two-user to unlimited for
Release 3.2 or 4.0.  I think this is silly, but that's what ESIX says.  (I
dislike it because many of the people buying ESIX are buying it for at-home
use.  I don't think they should be penalized for buying cheap now, and then
wanting to upgrade later if they find they want to handle newsfeeds for their
neighbors or give the kids a terminal in their rooms.)

However, as for the inability to add the development system, you're definitely
correct that it was true of R3.2 of ESIX.  On the price list for R4, though:

Software Devl. Ext. 	$ 795

I would assume that means what it says: you <can> add the development system
to your R4 runtime.
