UPDATES are patches/improvements/fixes or whatever name you want to put on it, to that particular version . There is a charge for UPGRADES. There is no charge for UPDATES. Version 9 is the first one that will allow "updating" on the internet. If there is no internet capability, then having a CD mailed is possible but Melco will require that you pay postage. There is no charge for the UPDATE. I usually just right click on the desktop icon and rename it to whatever update is the latest one. Not sure why the Icons do not bring forward the latest update number.....hasn't been a big enough issue to force me to remember to check into it.......
