^yessir, its completely free.

"I didn't get an email or message telling me where it was available to download."

thats curious, i thought it went out automatically. if it didnt i will send out a mass email to previous buyers, though i am always hesitant to do so:  even though i am simply politely telling people there is a free update to download, my inbox gets flooded with a mix of people complaining that i am 'spamming' them, as well as a ton of 'undeliverable' and 'please complete this 5 step authentication process for my spam filter to accept your email' bullshit.

the last time some woman who was reading her husbands emails went apeshit on me because she thought i was selling 'Girl Next Door' porn to her husband. 

i HATE sending out mass emails with a passion.
