The representative is correct.  In previous versions it used to be the case 
that you had to purchase the keys required.

Yes.  An SDK was specifically mentioned to me at one point.

Apex's CPU and memory just means that it's somewhat faster than it was before.  
It rarely runs fresh out of memory, takes more than a few seconds to 
"Reposition" or sort file lists and is just generally dust-free.  "Reliques of 
Tolti-Aph" used to take 15 seconds to load on the classic, about 10 on the 
MPower, and about 5 on the Apex.  It does crash more often, though, without 
question.
