I am going through this problem right now. I told customers the price and it would not move and all updates will be free, however I am about to release the second version of the product. It is significantly more stable, faster, more features, better designed, and one of the best applications I've ever made. I want to recoup the time spent on it, not to mention my sales from v1 have started to drop and I want to bump that up again. Maybe I'll release it as version 2 for pay but initially at a discount? I do not know. Suggestions?

Here's an idea: release a scaled back version of your new v2 as a free upgrade, and then take the full version with a majority of the extra goodies they're going to want and put it out as a separate product. Then, give existing customers a 30-50% discount off the "new product". Release both the free upgrade and the new product at the same time, so they'll feel like they're getting something for free, as well as a discount to grab the new product.
