I have RW8.0.3 and want to upgrade to 8.4 - my understanding is I don’t need to pay for this but I’m not sure how to get to the actual download without having to go through a purchase. Any direction here would be appreciated

I think it depends on how you purchased RW. It you got it from RealMac site just Launch RW and under the RapidWeaver 8 Menu item just hit check for updates:

It should show an update available.

If you purchased from the Mac App Store then get your update there.

I don’t have setApp so I don’t know on that one.

All the but main versions updates (like 7 to 8) are free.
