Where did you read this? On this page it says "Next feature update included":
http://www.runrev.com/Revolution1/licensing1.html
The form letter that customers get after purchase says what is quoted; that is, the user is entitled to one upgrade. The intent is that the user is entitled to the next released upgrade, just as the web page states. I doubt the company would honor someone's request to skip several updates or upgrades and then make a large jump, though they usually try to be as accomodating as possible to occasional lapses if the customer contacts the company personally.

Of course this was an issue for me as well before I decided to support the company by paying the studio license fee. But in fact the policy says "you are entitled to ONE free upgrade" - it does NOT SAY "you are entitled to ONE DIRECTLY FOLLOWING upgrade". So I just shrugged and told myself: Ok, I just get that upgrade for free that I want - I could wait until V3.0 and get that for free, since I have ONE UPGRADE FREE.
For general info: Runtime follows the same update/upgrade procedure that people have been talking about here. They use three decimal places in version numbering. Increments in the third place ("2.1.x") are free updates, usually bug fixes or minor changes. Increments in the second decimal place ("2.x") are paid upgrades, usually with discounts for those people who have purchased fairly recently before it was released, or for those people with older, discontinued license histories. First-decimal-place increments, i.e., from version 1 to version 2, are major updates that just about everyone has to purchase.
It is not likely that you could update for free from any version of 2 to version 3, since that would be a major release upgrade. (An exception might be if you had purchased 2 very shortly before 3 came out.) You could update from 2.1.2 to 2.1.3 for free, no questions asked. You could probably update from 2.1.2 to 2.1.4 if you contacted the company and asked. You might be able to update from 2.1.2 to 2.2 for free, depending on when you purchased 2.1.2.
In my experience, this is pretty standard industry pricing procedure.
