It explicitly states:

Updated to version 2 now, still free

Where did you see the version 2 update?

They is IKM’s weird upgrade plans. MAXGrade is an upgrade from any max product, for example Amplitube 5 MAX. Upgrade is from a previous version of Total Studio MAX. So currently, the upgrade is more expensive than the MAXgrade which defies logic.

If you have jam points you can get it direct from IKM for $85.
