FRS Forcing update to 3.0?

I've been using V 2.5.1 for several weeks with my 6700 on SSDR, Maestro and SSDR iOS. This morning I turned on the radio and the Maestro. The Maestro presented a radio selection screen. I selected my radio (the only shown) and the Maestro displayed a Select a Version screen. I selected 2.5.1 which had no icons. 

The Maestro began downloading.  I had to walk away, but when I came back, it looks like the Maestro had downloaded V 3.0.27 and also updated my 6700. Now the screen on the Maestro says BUY. I launched SSDR V 2.5.1 on my PC and it indicated that the radio needed to be upgraded.

Is Flex pulling a Microsoft and forcing upgrades on us? At least Microsoft doesn't force us to buy the upgrades.

    I guess it's possible that the Maestro thought I pushed the v3.0.27 button, when I actually pushed v2.5.1. Maybe the Maestro needs a confirmation screen before upgrading.

    Once I had an episode in which the Maestro did not show a full selection of SmartSDR versions when I turned it on. I just turned it off and back on again and all was well.  Some kind of glitch maybe left over from a previous shutdown. Who knows?
