...
"« Nouvelles Versions » désigne les nouvelles versions du Logiciel suite aux différentes Adaptations Légales et Règlementaires éventuelles ainsi qu’aux Mises à Jour Evolutives effectuées par le Prestataire pour le Client dans le cadre des prestations de Suivi conformément à l’article 4.3 et aux Adaptations Curatives conformément à l’article 4.2.3.
« Suivi » désigne notamment les prestations d’Adaptations Légales et Règlementaires et les Mises à Jour Evolutives du Logiciel effectuées par le Prestataire pour le Client dans le cadre des Prestations conformément à l’article 4.3."
...
"Mises à Jour Evolutives. Au titre du Suivi, le Prestataire s’engage également, sur demande du Client, à effectuer, une fois par an, les Mises à Jour Evolutives."

"Evolutif" very very often translates as "upgrade" (epithet) in IT speak. So "upgrade update"? The problem with this is I could find no evidence that such a term actually exists.
