I don&#x27;t think so, it&#x27;s the sort of software that&#x27;s ready when it&#x27;s ready. You can <i>use</i> the pre-release versions of ST3 (ie what&#x27;s currently available) on a ST2 license. That gets rid of all the nag screens.<p>I bought ST2 too in 2012 after a few weeks using it. It was certainly an expense but  given how much it was speeding some things up, I considered it very good value.<p>I&#x27;ve used it for <i>at least</i> 6,000 hours since then, probably closer to twice that. I&#x27;m not going to fight an upgrade when it eventually gets here.
