No you will get free updates to the S3 for as long as you own it. What you will not get updates for is pro tools. So if you have a feature release for the S3, you get that, but if you need PT 12 to implement that feature, you will not get an updated PT version. You can use that new S3 feature on other DAWs that support that feature. You probably will have to update to a new version of that DAW as well. I am sure that will cost money too.
