The Understand 2.0 you have just downloaded comes in four editions. They all use the same binary, only the license code affects their feature set. The editions are:
So which is right for you?
Several users have asked for a CVS user tool similar to the one Ken created for SVN
This is easy to do, and you can create your own User Tools to do many different things.
I went and bundled some CVS commands into a User Tool. Just import it via the Tools | Configure User Tools | Import button.
I haven’t used CVS in years, so let me know if I got anything wrong 
Ken put together a video overview of Understand Team.
You can view it here:

We’ve been trying to find a way for Understand users to share their knowledge with the rest of the team. After many months of effort, we’re finishing work on a new feature called Understand Team. Essentially It automatically generates source documentation and metrics about the code, and then Team let’s you publish your Understand project to an embedded web server and database.
Understand Team is part of Understand, however since it has a new installer for now we’ve made it a separate download kit. You can get it in build 478 and later of Understand, just select Team from the main bar to publish your project. Ken has also made a video overview of the different features in Team, you can watch it here.
With build 476 we are adding an exciting new capability to User Tools. The ability to perform operations directly in the editor. In the the User Tool configuration menu (Tools | Configure User Tools), there are two new fields, Input and Output. As you might expect, the Input field lets you select what text you want to feed into your tool, and the output field lets you choose where you want the output redirected.

We’ve made several changes to the Understand Perl API recently. The largest change was upgrading from Perl 5.6.0 to 5.10.0 in build 473.
In addition to several cool new features like the smart match operators and switch statements, Perl 5.10 runs faster and has a smaller memory footprint. For more details on what the changes are and how to use
them, see the Perl 5.10 Release Announcement.
We are also in the process of adding Snapshot support for the Perl API for build 476. Now you can access historical versions of the code through your scripts as well. For example you can compare versions of files or write a script to compare metrics between versions.

We are finishing up VHDL support and will soon be moving it from Beta to Release. It is now available to anyone with an L2 or evaluation license (let us know if you need one), and we would welcome your feedback.
We’ve had dependency analysis in Understand for many years. With B471 of Understand 2.0 we have consolidated it into a functional area of the tool, improved what it does and also added a few new dependency views.
The Dependency Analysis capability provides these features:
