It is not correct that users with the V1 version have the same discount as those who buy V2 for the first time. I bought version V1 not even 6 months ago and now I should pay back everything as if I were a regular user. Shame!
Our licenses have always been sold as a version license - purchasing V1 entitled the user to updates for the duration of that version, and V2 was always planned to be a paid for update.
This is information we have been providing since we first began selling the apps, and has not changed.
For example: here in 2018 & here in 2019 - including in our previous emails etc.
