deceptive Subscription Expiration message
My taskbar AAP icons warned me this morning:
"Your subscription expires in 15 days 9/30/2018"
Which confused me since my ATIH2018 licenses are Perpetual, not subscriptions. When I clicked on the message it opened my browser so I could buy upgrades to ATIH2019.
I see my account does bear a TRIAL "1TB Cloud Storage" Subscription expiring Sept. 29, 2018, however neither the message nor the upgrades offered when I clicked it referred to this.
This didn't happen in past years, and I consider it deceptive marketing, which is most unwelcome.
If the messages appear again I'll printscreen and include them.

Thank you very much, Steve!
It's possible, since I had just woken up minutes before, that the message said something I missed about it being the CLOUD sub that was expiring.
It is nice to know that it's not a trial that came with my perpetual licenses. Particularly since I trust that no savvy beta tester would be fooled by that sub-expiration message into clicking the message offered to upgrade my perpetual licenses to ATIH2019 ones.
It's good to warn people of stuff, and I really can't say Acronis should have done it any differently. I'm sorry, Acronis, that I mistakenly called it "deceptive marketing"!
