Good question, why would anyone update if they don't need it? We specifically state if you don't need to update it's not necessary to continue using your license. The great things about WUP (if and when you need it) is you get immediate access and 1 year of:
1) Any DAW/OS updates, and/or plugin updates (AAX 64bit support, 64bit Native for VST/AU, etc) added
2) Additional plugins added to the bundle. For example we have added the following plugins to the Gold Bundle under WUP.
GTR3 Bundle
V-Series Bundle
MV2
H-Comp
H-Delay
Waves Tune LT
IR-L
Doubler
3) Access to Tech Support you can actually get on the phone or through email almost 24/7
In addition to this we provide a WUP Voucher good for the amount you spent on the update good towards up to 50% off a new bundle or bundle upgrade or up to 25% off single plugin purchases.
Again if you don't need it, don't renew WUP. Granted it's a fairly unique way to provide upgrades/updates, but
when you know the facts it's a fair and in many ways beneficial way to do it.
