Sabnzbd updates are released from their main website free of charge. Since you have alread paid for the the ReadyNAS Extra package, you can do a manual upgrade by following these directions:
### The following lines will setup and move
### most of SABnzbd's Core files into /c/.sabnzbd
### This will make future upgrades easier
### Part 1: Move Core Files and setup System Links
mv /usr/share/sabnzbdplus/* /c/.sabnzbd/
rm -rf /usr/share/sabnzbdplus/
ln -snf /c/.sabnzbd /usr/share/sabnzbdplus
ln -s /c/.sabnzbd/interfaces /usr/bin/interfaces
## Setup Download Path
# All downloaded files will be stored in the media share
# Download Path = /c/media/complete [Movies | Music | TV]
# You will need to change sabnzb config settings
## This is my download directory structure
## Please adjust to match your system
cd /c/.sabnzbd
rm -rf /c/.sabnzbd/Downloads
ln -s /c/media Downloads
mkdir Downloads/complete
mkdir Downloads/complete/Movies
mkdir Downloads/complete/Music
mkdir Downloads/complete/TV
mkdir Downloads/incomplete
mkdir Downloads/incomplete/watch
ln -s Downloads downloads
## Link SickBeard Scripts to SABnzbd
ln -s /c/.sickbeard/autoProcessTV scripts
ln -s scripts script
## Setup user ROOT links
cd /root
rm -rf .sabnzbd
ln -s /c/.sabnzbd ./.sabnzbd
rm -rf email
ln -s /c/.sabnzbd/email ./email
rm -rf scripts
ln -s /c/.sabnzbd/scripts ./scripts
rm =rf Downloads
ln -s /c/.sabnzbd/Downloads ./Downloads
## Edit Defaults File ~ change owner to 'root'
nano /etc/default/sabnzbdplus
# Install Sabnzbdplus into the System so that it auto-starts during boot
# Not needed, just put here to show how it's done
sudo update-rc.d sabnzbdplus defaults
### Part 2: Update (New) SABnzbd from main web site
### while keeping your current settings by copying the old settings over to the new
### installation. Start by moving the new SABnzbd Directory into place as /c/.sabnzbd-bak
