Hi. Yes please open a case on Snowcovered, we should have a fix for that for the 1.0 release.
If you do want to upgrade you should receive a discount during checkout (typically 80% for each upgrade so probably 60% off for you). We don't offer a 'free updates for life' scenario for major releases, this helps us to offer premium support and continue to have staff for enhancing our modules etc...
