Usually, you don't _need_ to update. You can if you wish and you might want to if a particular feature is appealing, but it's not a need and your computer will likely play your VST as it is without many problems, especially if it's dedicated to that.

Just like your B3 will still be working in a few years, if treated with the proper care, and your DX7 as well (no matter what you do to her!).

Alternatively if you keep what you have, eventually you run into software obsolescence where there is an obvious irritating problem and the version you have is no longer supported, or it will no longer play well with your newer "toys". This is never a problem with a classic axe like the B3 and is much less of a problem with other hardware synths. On the other hand those products are what they are and do what they do- they're not a swiss army knife of solutions like the PC/VST world.
