Upgrading for free

I have my original Mac Mini (late 2009) that still has iLife '09. I have upgraded to Mavericks but I am still required to pay for the update to iPhoto and iMovie in the App Store.


I thought all of the iLife products became free after the announcement on Tuesday.


Do I need to do something in order to receive the updates for free?

Mac mini (Late 2009), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

note this:


If you don’t own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps (or v1 iOS apps), or own older Mac versions: On the iLife side, you’ll have to buy iMovie and iPhoto at full price ($15 or $5, depending on platform). GarageBand is free for everyone to download, though the app does offer in-app purchases. Apple’s iWork apps are each $20 for the Mac, $10 on the iPhone or iPad.
