I agree. There are many tools out there that need to be updated. I don't think free is necessary. I think $150 is the magic number. For $150 allow a serial numbered tool one week to download all of the newest updates. It is up to the tool owner to back up and protect the download as once the week runs out too bad. I think ALOT of tool users would go for this. $700 is too much for a MaxiDas update. The tool is not that good.
