"...unless the license is purchased within 6 months of the release of the major revision, in which case the upgrade will be free. The next major release of NCrunch is currently planned for late 2013."
If version 2 is coming out by late 2013 and I purchase a named license now, would i be covered under the 6 months to get the new major update for free?
The 6 months would take me until November, so if the release is in December i would have to pay the 50% for version 2?

Hi -
You're correct in your understanding that in falling outside the 6 month period, you will need to pay 50% of the list price for a V2 upgrade.
V2 of NCrunch is aimed for late this year, although the exact date of the release will depend upon a number of factors (i.e. stability, feature completeness, beta testing reception, etc). I'm afraid it isn't possible to commit to the date so far in advance, although I do understand the position of wanting to be included in the 6 months upgrade policy.
The 6 month policy exists out of consideration of those that have bought a license for V1 within a very short period of the next major release, at which point moving to the latest version would effectively be 150% of normal price. It isn't intended in the same manner as a discount or special offer, as someone that purchases a license barely within the 6 month period would still have extensive use of V1 before V2 is available.
So I'm afraid that I cannot guarantee when a purchase will quality for automatic upgrade, all I can suggest is to look for the projected release dates, and plan as you choose to.
Cheers,
Remco

Makes sense, thank you.
Hi Remco,
I'm just bumping this topic as it's very relevant now. I sent you a question on Twitter (@danbo) about it as the timing of v2 will affect my purchase consideration.
Do you have a timescale for a commercial release of v2, and if I buy v1 now, will I be able to upgrade to v2 without an extra charge?
Kind regards, Dan

Hi Dan -
I can confirm that any purchase you make now will absolutely receive the free upgrade to V2.
