I got the e-mail saying they would send me the serial number, but no number yet.

Log onto your account at Acronis. Your Key should be posted along with the download link.
Mine was.

I think you have to have gotten the email back with the password for that account to login to it.

I set up an account before registering for the download.
I remember registering numerous times for the download, but only one went through with out being timed out or directed to an error page.
I got my email with the key sometime after I had logged into my account, where I saw the same key next to the download link.


That's my story and I'm sticking to it

Got the e-mail but no download link and it won't let me into my account.

What you might try in order to get into your account is to apply for a new login password .
As I remember, there was a mechanism for doing that by entering your email address you used to set up the account , and Acronis would email a new login password ......to that address.

There is the free version of Acronis that comes in Seagate/Maxtor's Discwizard, but there has to be a Maxtor/Seagate hard drive attached for Discwizard to work.
I've been using it for several years.

There probably isn't enough difference between 9 and 10 to justify spending the money. Of course, there was 11, and not 2009 that have come out since.
