DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY ANOTHER $120!

I'm not very impressed to see that MRT has moved from lifetime updates to $120/update. I'm hoping I'm reading it incorrectly or somehow missed the notice stating that they moved from free updates to a model where they charge for them as they come.

I bit the bullet and did the update.

First issue discovered already. It won't open previous version DE tasks. Now we wait another 6 months for them to fix it and charge another $120 for it?

Here is a blog on how to migrate an old DE task to the new version.
