Acronis 2021 upgrade promotion?

Thread solved

When I login I got a promotion for Acronis 2021 upgrade.  I have Acronis 2020 perpetual.  I filled the form, and suddenly noticed this was a subscription.  How Acronis can classify this as an "upgrade" so silently?  Or is there an actual upgrade promotion for perpetual licenses?

C B, welcome to these public User Forums.

You can get an upgrade for the Standard / Perpetual version but in all honesty I would suggest waiting at this time.  Look out for any Black Friday / Cyber Monday discount deals which should get you a much better price.  You have to look very carefully to find the option for perpetual versions as Acronis look to be trying to hide this!

The other reason is that Acronis have now integrated their own Cyber Protection feature in ATI 2021 with this being a part of even the perpetual version even if not used, which is causing a lot of user complaints about it becoming bloated!

They do make it hard to find upgrades, but it is better than it was a few months back. 

Thanks, Acronis great product, pretty much set and forget it.  I do not typically upgrade every year currently using 2019 and looked at 2021 and a-l-m-o-st made the mistake to upgrade to the subscription offer..whew...Hidden is correct!

It make sense to wait until Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals now though
