On the previous occasions when I did make use of such upgrade offers from Acronis, there was no major upgrade released and since the issue has not arises before, my purchase was made in good faith.
Perhaps I am naive and not "alert" to the subtle nuances of software application marketing but thank you for alerting me to this. Thank you for your engagement on the forum though.
Based on my current situation, I would hesitate to do so for fear that I could land my organisation in exactly the predicament that I am in now. I am the group financial director for an international organisation and I have been considering a recommendation that our organisation uses your enterprise products to safeguard our workstations and server. I am typing this from a spare laptop that I borrowed. In addition, TI2009 identifies all 14 of my hard disk images as corrupt and I am unable to restore any of them after an issue with my hard disk. At the very least, I would have expected to have been informed at the time of my upgrade that the release of of the new version was planned and that I would not be entitled to an upgrade unless I waited until 30 days before the release date before upgrading. Imagine my surprise when a little more than a month later, a major upgrade of TI is released and I am not entitled to a free upgrade.
I received an offer to upgrade to TI2009 and on I not only upgraded, but based on my long history with Acronis, also purchased Acronis Disk Director 10. I have been a loyal Acronis customer since TI version 7 and have upgraded more than once. I guess your post answers my question that I sent to Acronis support a few minutes ago but let me elaborate on my situation for interest's sake:
