It was my understanding when I read the sign-up info that you were paying for a lifetime program with 6 MONTHS of FREE updates. I could be wrong but I will check. I guess cause you were past the 6 months and only had the older version onhand is why this happening.I guess this is hte case and would be legit but kinda crappy.Well I was just looking at the page and it says something like free "updates" for 6 months after purchase.....I guess if it updates after that youre out.
