up2date is free for one machine per login.  More than that or to get
preferential treatment when bandwidth is tight means you pay.  I've got one
login for a server at work and a second one for the laptop I was assigned.  So,
I don't pay.  I could add a third for my personal laptop, but haven't done that
yet.
