Well... It depends on the type of upgrade you are in need of... If I remember well: $ 49 for the program upgrade without any bell and whistles... and last year I paid $ 169 for the upgrade plus the 49 add-on pack with add ons and bonus real tracks...

colly,
Since you have the UltraPlusPak...
In the past, there's been a special deal for upgrading the UltraPlusPak or EverythingPak to the latest version with all the latest bells as whistles for US$100 (download). This has been a favourite choice of mine over the years and has allowed me to keep up to date for a great price.
Bonus paks are sometimes included free, sometimes included at a special price or a combination of both. Bonus material always stands outside the normal update. I tend to look at bonus packages as 'special release' material.
Last year, I noticed that the upgrade to the Audiophile edition was excellent value, too.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Noel

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Colly. I appreciate it.
My experience is that PG Music always look after us well.
As others have said, updates have always occurred early in December for Windows editions and mid-year for Mac.

Thanks.
If you're serious about the + sign, one way to do it is to quote my post and strip away everything else.

?? Perhaps you are using a keyboard layout different from what is used in North America?

Seems to me the last few versions have primarily been about RealTracks/styles and not a ton changed in the code/functionality or interface. I still spring for them, because I don't have a motorcycle or gamble in Vegas or whatever mid-life crises are supposed to cost. I WOULD like to see some surprise beyond a new Gypsy/Jazz Klezmer fusion.

I WOULD like to see some surprise beyond a new Gypsy/Jazz Klezmer fusion. Now THAT sounds interesting...with bluegrass. Never forget the bluegrass. Hmmm, Night in Tunisia in a Gypsy Jazz/Klezmer/Bluegrass style. Yep, that'll work. Bob
