I will certainly keep that in mind for the next public notice. For the most part, "point upgrades" are free for all of our software. We define a point upgrade as going from version 2.7 to version 2.8 or 2.9. When we make major changes to an application (such as when we totally overhaul it and redo the interface, input screens, etc.) we do a full version change (e.g., going from version 1.5 to 2.0) and then we will charge an upgrade price. With the version 3.0 SuperCalendar release, we decided that the changes were not enough to warrant an upgrade cost so that is why it is free to existing customers.
