    I have been using ATI 2009, bld. 9709. Upon seeing the thread "Build 9796 USA ATI 2009 released", I visited ATI website a few minutes ago. In the past, ATI always offered free downloading for new builds. This time I couldnot figure out how. It now looks to me that no more free updating to bld 9796. Could someone clarify this issue?

    Acronis has been trying to get an updated build released. They pulled the first one and now they're having problems with the build number in the current one. It may still be several days (or longer) before they get it straightened out. It may also be several days (or longer) before the new build shows up in all accounts.

    The updates are still free.

    36 hours later and still no new build available for download on the UK and EU sites.

    Come on Acronis, what are you playing at? how hard can it be to upload the new build to the UK, EU and other sites?

    Hello all,

    Thank you for using Acronis True Image

    The build numbers are different for different web sites.

    The latest build on the UK web site is build # 9770.
    The latest build on the EU web site is build # 9770.
    The latest build on the US web site is build # 9796.

    The installation file of # 9796 is seen like build # 9791, but this discrepancy will be improved soon.

    Thank you.

    OLEG you appear to be WRONG!
    On what I think is my UK site as it is .co.uk
    https://www.acronis.co.uk/my/products/

    Under my registered products. United Kingdom English
    I have available for download ATI 2009 build 9796.
    So why do you say the latest build on the UK web site is 9770 ?

    I'm in the UK and at www.acronis.co.uk/my/products i only have 9770 available for download, it's the same on the EU site, very odd indeed.

    My account still only shows 9770.

    I'm in the UK and my account on the Uk web site still only shows 9770 as the latest.

    How can I get 9776?

    To clarify, on the Acronis UK site which has the web address:
    https://www.acronis.co.uk/support/updates/index.html
    and has the words top left "United Kingdom - English"

    Under "Product Updates" tab Build 9770 is mentioned BUT there is NO download button.

    Under "Registered Products & Support" Build 9796 is offered with a download button. This download works. It was not working half an hour ago.

    The download link points to Acronis USA:

    http://us1.download.acronis.com

    The download works and the version information under file properties now says that it is version

    12.0.0.9796

    This is a revised file as the file size is now 93,272 KB
    The previous file size for 9796 was 93,272 KB

    Ah, that explains why you are getting the update and i'm not, or does it, if you look at the screenshot below you will notice that the version of ATI in my account is listed as (United Kingdom), but yours is (English), very odd.

    Could someone from Acronis please explain this.

    Hello all,

    Thank you for using Acronis True Image

    I should add that possibility to download the respective build is tied up to the serial number.

    If you purchased a license on the UK web site, you are an owner of the UK license, and the latest build for this license is # 9770.

    If you purchased a license on the US web site, you are an owner of the US license, and the latest build for the US license is # 9796.

    If due to some reason you want to replace the licenses, you can contact Acronis Customer Central here, our engineers will help you.

    jehosophat, I suppose you have the US license, that's why the latest build available for you is #9796.

    Thank you.
