An unfair practice.
I purchased an update to ATI2009 in June and was unable to install it and run it until August 2009. Without any knid of advice or notification to me ATI 2010 was brought out in September.
Now I am expected to pay an additional $30 to upgrade again to the new version. I find this very unfair and not at all good customer service or good business. I have tried to bring this up to management without any reply or response.
It seems to me not a good way to hold onto good customers (I have been buying this software since ATI 7)
Thanks.
Regards,
Werner Stern

Hi,
That's hardly the point that I'm making. I have ATI 2009 working very well but I still don't want to have to pay $30 after 1 months use.
I intend to upgrade to Windows 7 in about a month and want to be sure that my ATI works well with Windows 7.

Well, seems Acronis has taken a page out of Bill Gates' book - conceptulize a product, then sell it, THEN fix it after it's sold. It's no wonder we are all where we are when all we do is "bit and devour one another.
