"Note enhanced interfaces users: 5.x will require a new activation code. The process has changed. USB hardware users, please follow the instructions in the software to get a new permanent hardware code."
What does this mean? Am i going to have to email them again for a new code?

From the text in the download:
"Please Note: If you purchased enhanced options, the activation procedure for USB OBD-II hardware solutions is new.
To get codes for USB OBD-II hardware solutions, please connect to a vehicle and retrieve trouble codes. Once that step has finished, go to Help | About. Send the Purchaser Name as normal and the new hardware ID (XXXX-XX) to activation@autoenginuity.com. If you system reports NA then you are still not connected. If it reports 0 then close the window and retry.
All serial customers who purchased enhanced options, please use the normal method as outlined in the Help | Feature Activation screen of the software.
Finally, technical support will NOT make codes over the phone. The new activations codes are 64-digits and we do not have the resources to give 25K customers activation codes over the phone.
Thank You."

One neat new feature is the ability to switch systems without disconnecting from the truck, and an addition of conversion calculators in the help menu. 5.0 has been bug free for the last month I have been using it.

You can switch them now on the fly? That's nice. 
I downloaded and installed the new version, but haven't had a chance to get it on the truck yet. Too much yard work to do kept me busy this afternoon, and now I've got actual work to do before I head to the office tomorrow morning.

I believe all the updates are free.But i think you still can only get 3 enhanced codes a year.Im already at 3,thats why im slow on upgrading to the new version.

I recently purchased AE and had been running 4.4. I talked to AE about updates. I think they are free for the first year you own AE. After that you can upgrade from any version to current for something like $50. That was my take on upgrades.
