Hi cookepuss,

The way it works is that yes normally if you purchase version X you would need to purchase an upgrade for version X+1 , but there is a "grace period" time where if a new version comes out soon after your purchase you will get a free upgrade.

The "grace period" for getting a free v4 upgrade is going to extend back a lot longer then it normally would since v4 has been in development for an unusually long time (v4 is a major rewrite from v3 to move to 64-bit and to a cross platform base with a native Mac build). So the way it will work is any v3 purchase going back about 2 years ago will get a free v4 upgrade but further back than that will need to purchase an upgrade.

The normal grace period time would be more like a few months.
