Boot Sequence Manager not listed in Tools & Utilities Acronis 2010

I had Windows 7 Home Premium and upgraded to Ultimate by just putting the Ultimate key into my Home Premium installation of Windows 7. Everything went well with the upgrade, but Acronis 2010 does not show the Boot Sequence Manager in the menu. Do I have to reinstall Acronis 2010 for it to recognize that I now have Windows 7 Ultimate??
Would like to be able to boot from the vhd file I just created from my Windows 7 Ultimate install.

I have build 6053. I have never had the option listed but I thought that was because I had Windows7 Home Premium and that option does not work with Home Premium only Ultimate or Enterprise.
Uninstalled 2010 with revouninstaller and tried to delete all remnants of 2010...still did not get rid of everything...reinstalled 2010 on my WIndows 7 ULTIMATE installation and still do not have the option listed.
So that option is not available in Build 6053?? That's a bummer. Upgraded to Ultimate to get this feature. :(

I don't have it in the menu, too. But when I click on Tools & Utilities on the left side I have it.

Nope, don't have it listed on the left side either. Guess I'm out of luck.

Hope:
When you say - not listed on the left side, does that mean you've clicked on Tools and Utilities and it doesn't appear on the Tools menu page?

I wonder if this means in later versions it is only available with the add on pack.

I've thought of a possible problem. I had a dual boot with Vista and Windows 7 on the same disk on different partitions. Vista was on the first partition and W7 on the second. I then deleted Vista and put Windows 7 on the FIRST partition and then deleted the W7 on the second partition.
I had a lot of problems getting the boot straightened out but I bet I am using the VISTA BOOTLOADER and so the Boot Sequencer can not work.
How do I get myself out of that kind of pickle??
Is there a non-destructive way of getting rid of the Vista Bootloader and putting the W7 boot files in its place? Or am I doomed?

If you installed Win7 after Vista you should already have the Win7 bootloader.
Regardless, you should be able to boot from your Win7 install DVD, or a "System Repair" disk created from within Win7 (Control Panel->System and Security->Backup and Restore->Create a system repair disc) and run "Startup Repair". It should show you the version(s) of Windows it detects, and whether or not it found any boot issues.
If it finds any issues, it will (should) give you the option to review the details of the problems it found before replacing anything. The "Startup Repair" option is not "non-destructive", but if it finds problems, running it will certainly leave behind the Win7 bootloader. I have yet to run the Win7 boot repair and have it leave me with a system that didn't boot. But I guess there could always be a first time...

@garryj
I tried a bootloader recovery with my W7 disk and it said there was nothing wrong with the bootloader so I am giving up for now. Will wait and see if anybody else has this problem. It's probably an anomaly of my computer setup.
Thanks for all the suggestions...it's appreciated.
The reason I thought I had Vista bootloader is because I edited the bootloader file with EasyBCD when I was trying to change from dual boot to single boot and that utility says it's a Vista bootloader....maybe that's just a default setting.
