If you have a house purchased from a company and after two months you decide to move to a bigger one you will not just receive the key... or am i wrong? The amount of time passed from releasing one version to the other has nothing to do here. Just my two cents.

Some software companies offer a free upgrade if the software purchase was made within 30 days, some as generous as 6 months. WebIS sets the standard here. The house analogy doesn't fit because we're talking about real property, not software, though you might think of it as a house purchase with a warranty for maintenance for a certain period.
Where the amount of time figures in is because your customer doesn't know your release cycle. If they had known that a better version was coming out in 2 weeks or 4 weeks, they may have decided to hold off on their purchase instead of having to buy twice, albeit at a reduced rate for the second time.
Still, it's your software, your company, sell as you like. To each his own.
