Releases of the form X.0 and X.Y are feature releases (major and 
minor, respectively). 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, and 2.1 are all feature releases.

Releases of the form X.Y.Z are maintenance releases: 1.1.1, 2.0.1, 
2.0.2, and 2.0.3 are of this type.

Well, with the SBE renewal license you get the same Studio version, 
but with the ability to develop on all platforms (not just one) and 
all updates for a year (instead of just the first feature release). 
So I'd say that's a better value if you're eligible, which you are if 
you originally bought SBE.

(There's an overview of options in the docs, by the way - see "About 
upgrading Revolution from a previous version". This might be helpful.)
