From the official Newtek Newsletter:

From what I can gather, 8.5 and 8.5 64-bit are two separate updates, 8.5 is free and 8.5 64-bit costs you something silly like 30 bucks or so, just wish I had a 64-bit system to run it on!! :headbang:

The 30 bucks is for exchanging the parallel dongle to a USB. The 64bit version only works on the USB dongle. Both LW850(win32) and LW850(64bit) are both free to download from the registry download page.
