Seriously? I *just purchased this software and now I'm being asked to upgrade!?

I agree. I was just saying....

Yeah. If I remember correctly, they did 12.0.x and then 12.1.x, which was free for existing 12.0 customers.
10.0 had a bunch of builds too, I think.

Maybe some of your tracking tips should be made as a sticky of FAQ with a YMMV disclaimer.

Every so often someone notices and posts a "Gone Quiet?" thread. I'm pretty sure there was one of those on the MC16 board around the beginning of October, in fact.
It is what it is.
Could be a whole lot worse. Apple laughs at you about this kind of stuff. I know someone who clicked "buy" on a $5000 Mac Pro workstation literally 5 minutes before the Apple Store went offline and they revved the line (luckily it was just a CPU bump, and not anything major). Usually, if it is same-day, Apple holds the orders and fixes it. But his ended up shipping as-ordered. Of course, you have 30 days to return hardware, so that problem was easily solved.
It also seems to happen to Leo Laporte all the time. The best time to buy a Mac? Three weeks after Leo buys one, because you know the new ones are going to come out soon.
On-the-other-hand, I do understand how the OP feels. Bad timing stinks for pretty much any reason.

Jim, the owner of the company, responded to the same question here:

We begin to offer an upgrade license at a reduced price long before the next version is at a stable release status.
If you buy each year when the new version goes into beta, MC will cost you about 37 cents a week. Or around a cup of Starbuck's coffee every other month.
So you can buy it now for $18.98, or wait until later when it will be $26.98, or just stay with MC16.
I'm sorry if you don't feel that it's fair.

I also work for the company. We work very hard on the program. It's up to you to decide if the work we put into each version is worth an upgrade.
Thank you to those of you that do support our work, original poster included.
