You're eligible for free updates for 6 mths after purchase. So if you're within that time you're fine. Many people bookmark their personal downld page. Some will also save their installer to their comp so they can back it up. If you're not sure then try Here (click on link) If your email no longer works then your subscription to updates has finished.
