Lemme guess. You need the WUP for this.

Thanks Larry and gmon32,
 
Never seen so many Waves updates - most of Gold, CLA series and Maserati series and Bass Rider. Others also but they are listed as "Artistnnnnnnn".

You don't need an active WUP to get these updates.  You just need a license for version 9 of the plugin.  When they start shipping version 10 plugins is when you'll need a valid WUP, otherwise you will be stuck on the last/final version 9.  Which this "update" may very well be.

Sorry but that is not what the Support site says. You have to have a current WUP to update. Whether it's a point or full update it's still got to be covered by a WUP.

There is a Waves group on FB and one of the reps (Gittai) said WUP is not required...

That page is more about buying/licensing an update not necessarily getting a minor version update or reinstalling.  Yes the site is a bit vague on the actual details, perhaps on purpose.  WUP is more about support and product level changes (new things added to bundles, new major versions).  For example when Element 2.0 shipped you needed a active WUP (or a WUP on a bundle that included Element) in order to get it.  But once you have a license all the minor updates have always been included.  Their licensing system isn't fine-grained enough to be able to prevent you from running the slightly newer stuff (my guess).  And yes it's confusing.  With the addition to the update feature in Waves Central you can finally see updates to single products and get them applied.  Before it required just reinstalling everything to be sure you had the most recent version you were licensed to use.
 
When they do start shipping Version 10 plugins though, everything changes.  WUP comes in to play and the web will light up like the 4th of July with complaints.  And it will go on for years.  There are a handful of v7 and v8 hold outs that every now and then complain even now.  Waves has vastly expanded their user base since then.  V10 WUP posts will go to infinity.
 
Also important to point out, the price of WUP changes (the more out of WUP you are, the more it costs up to a max point).  And you can purchase WUP from re-sellers (at a discount).  They also run sales on WUP (which you can also get from re-sellers).  You only need WUP for a few limited reasons (need email support/bundle changes/major version upgrades/you want to re-sell your license).  They market WUP as more of a necessary on-going support cost, without ever being very clear on why most people don't need it.
 
Part of me wishes they never ship v10, ever.
 

As someone who hasn't been around waves too long. What happens with a major waves update? Like was there something major from V8 to v9 ?

Yeah I get that, I mean more does the contents change much for a major version change

They could def upgrade some GUIs

For Gold, the jump from 8 to 9 was pretty big. They added V comp and the V Eq's. Along the way H-Delay and Vitamin got added. I haven't wupped in awhile.
