If you look at NI Komplete set of plugs, the upgrade from one version (looks like any) to the last is not free but you have to pay less (175€) for an upgrade rather than buying the full version (466 €).
Same for Reason 5 update (98 €) compared to full version (298 €) ...
This is just fair as one could have to pay for extra features (and extra work from the plug-in "manufacturer").
I just felt the Access upgrade policy to be clever as with free upgrade you can get new features and upgrade your Virus as long as the DSP can bear it.
The idea behind this is that as hardware is often more expensive than software, this is just a kind of compensation and could prevent people from waiting before buying that the last upgrade is out (which could be neverending).
Still reselling software is not that easy, especially if it is not up-to-date. Maybe it is easier with hardware as long as this hardware has proven to be future proof ...
