Why has my True Image 2017 support expired?
Maybe someone can help me because I apparently can't contact support.
I purchase TI 2017 on 2016-10-01.
My Acronis True Image 2017 Account page says:
Support has expired: 2017-10-22
The Acronis Support Lifecycle Policy for Consumer Products page says:
Mainstream Support starts from the release date and lasts until the next product version is released.
Extended Support starts when the Mainstream Support phase ends and lasts for a specific duration (usually one year or until the next-but-one product version is released).
Since Mainstream Support ended for TI 2017 on 2017-10-22 shouldn't I be in Extended Support for a year from that date?

Hello TrailMoose,
Free technical support for home products is provided on time-limited basis (usually one year for the current version and two months for the immediate previous version after new product is released). The customers whose products are in mainstream or extended phase, but not covered by free assistance, can purchase a pay-per-incident support.
So, basically, Extended phase means that Acronis engineers will investigate issues reproduced on the immediate previous version, but the free assistance can be provided only within the first two months after release of a newer version. The full list of available support options for Acronis products can be found here https://kb.acronis.com/content/6031
Thank you,
