So this is a one time fee including updates per platform? 

Yes, for all updates in version 1.x. But if Serif ever decides to release version 2 there would be a new fee.

Only if you wanted the new features in version 2. Version 1 would still be covered by your existing licence, and it wouldn’t stop working unless OS changes broke something.

Thanks for the reply.

Some are one time. Others are by version. JRiver Media Center is by version, which they change every 10 months and the changes are minor. They stop all work or updates for the previous version but offer a 'special price' for the upgrade. AVS is one time, Bought it 10 years ago. NIK Collection (plugins for Photoshop) was one time but they changed hands twice. Charged $400 US or so initially. Three months later they sold to Google. Google charged $149 US and were kind enough to refund the difference. Months in, they gave it away for free. Now owned by DxO and they charge $60 US to upgrade, minor changes. DxO also has a free 30 day trial but their Photolab software, $130 Euros. 

Have you used Photoshop? Anything you miss? I have Design & Web Premium CS6 (dated but usable) and subscribe to the Photographer's package (Photoshop & Lightroom) originally for $10 US A month but with the Canadian Dollar in the tank, it is pushing $15 Cdn now. I've loaded my NIK Collection plugins yesterday into the Affinity trial.
