MTU change the policy to be a standard 12 month period which can be beneficial to all of us. You are not paying to go from 4.21 to 4.22, but instead paying to go from whatever the last upgrade you bought (4.0?) to 4.22. All of the ones in between (4.0 - 4.21) you got for free as they added a ton of new features. All those features that they added Hoster as well as some of the other programs has cost MTU a lot of money and time to try to make all of their programs the best on the market.

I'm confused. Wasn't 4.22 released to repair problems with 4.21? If you purchase a program that doesn't work properly, are you saying it is okay to be charged for an upgrade because the first program didn't work? I don't get this way of thinking. The year wouldn't be an issue if the the program worked properly in the first place. Based on this way of thinking, if we were to buy a hardware karaoke device that turned out to have a problem and needed to be corrected to work as advertised, one would have to pay for the repair even though the product had a warranty. So if I understand you and MTU correctly, software products don't have a guarantee, you purchase them and hope that they work properly as advertised, otherwise you may have to pay again to get a working product. Also, this is off track but why does the MTU web site still advertise 4.21 if 4.22 is now the current product?
