I suspect the rules may be different in different countries, so you'll
have to check with your local IBM office.  
 
Here in Canada, there is a free upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3 available for
4 months.  There is a free upgrade to the toolkit also.  You have to 
get a form from IBM Canada, and as far as I know they won't ship 
automatically. 
 
In the US there is a free upgrade for 4 months (I think), from either 
1.1 or 1.2.  It needs a form signed by your dealer, apparently. 
 
By the way, this was announced about the beginning of November and is
supposed to be available as of November 30th.  I haven't heard of anybody
actually getting a copy yet.
