What we should improve to make it more clear?

If they have purchased 1 year of updates, they can use any SmartGit version that was released within 1 year after the purchase (including all bug fix released even if they were released later) - as long as they like. If they want to use SmartGit 22.1 with a license with updates until 2018, then they would have to order an upgrade/renewal license.
