Updates vs Upgrades

Question

I see a new version of Movable Type has been released; does my license entitled me to download this version for free?

Answer

Each 3.x license entitles the owner to free Updates and discounts on Upgrades, where:

* an "Update" is identified by the change of the revision to the right of the decimal point, i.e. X.1 to X.2

* an "Upgrade" is identified by the change of the revision to the left of the decimal point, i.e. 3.X to 4.X

So, your license covers you for any 3.X releases; once a 4.X version is released, you can upgrade your license to that version for a discounted rate.
