I'm happy to help.

I think it's a horrible thing for software companies to do that -- tell 
us there's an upgrade to our current version available when actually 
they want us to buy a completely new version.  I've got another piece of 
software which keeps telling me the same thing, only it says "Important 
update for your current version."  No, it's not an update of the current 
version, it's a brand new version which will cost me money to get.  Sleazy!

It's telling that "the new version is 2014.5 2500.0.0.7722" -- that 
tells me that even the folks at rocky-mountain-high-exercise-company (or 
whatever the name of the current owner of Finale is) consider this new 
version to be simply an extension of 2014.5 and not the totally new 
version they advertised it as.

Why can't software companies be more honest with their users?
