Some of the retail stores might still have v.8 on the shelves.

Oh I didn't think of that option and is a good idea if there are some v8's still out there - I'll take a serach for that at pricegrabber or similar. I hope so!

I was hoping there would be a link at Acronis to do it but I don't see it anywhere and support wants me to buy v9 ...but the thing is I want v8 !

I see the box version of v8 at a few places and it's too much money and I don't need the Box and CD anyway - I Already have the software! ..I just need a legal license key ..and I say legal because after searching I see I can get illegal license keys all over the place for free, but for heavens sake where can I buy a legal one?
I see I can buy a downloadable v9 at NewEgg for $29 ..neat!

...I want to be able to buy v8 the same way - where can I go to pay for a legal license key for v8?

Just a thought here. Don't know if it'd work. Acronis support could answer definitively. Would a TI v9 license key work for v8? I know keys sometimes span forward 1 version. Maybe this v9 license key will work on v8.:-\

I wonder too then, is it possilbe that if I buy the downloadable v9 - will its license work for v8?

Rick... Read this post (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=587637&postcount=7). If I understand what Semyonov Vasily is saying, if you purchase version 9 and are unsatisfied with it, you are entitled to version 8 if "he/she desires so". Those are his words!
