In this case, we offer a 60 day protection amnesty period - if the user buys a
version and we ship a major upgrade within the 60 days after they purchase,
they get the new version for free. This is for three reasons -
1: Protect the user from an unexpected expense when they've just bought
your product
3: Protect the maintenance team from tracking down bugs that may be
fixed in the new version
2: Protect your revenue stream so that the customers don't get wind of
a new version and then wait to purchase.
