My suggestion on starting a sticky thread 'Latest Aomei Backupper updates' is not 100% altruistic, BTW. I am about to drop File History and Aomei's strong file features may be a suitable replacement. If someone takes the lead, I would contribute ...
Why would this be so concerning? It won't stop working. You will get security updates till 2024. It's just like when they dropped full support for V7 in prep for V8. There's a V9 around the corner somewhere and this is a natural progression. Too much hooplah about an impending Armageddon.

We do not know but they never did this on previous versions. The tone implies there will not be a free version for V9 after reading it several times.
I wonder if there is a different agenda - I do not think this is just about forcing people to buy it in future, but I have a horrible suspicion, this is a prelude to a change to Acronis style lease version i.e. more focus on the corporate market where the big money is.
Home as we know it would be rebadged as professional users?
IT depts like leasing as they just include it as part of annual OPEX budget. Buying licences (CAPEX) periodically always require justification - what's wrong with old one. Has it been tested blah blah blah.
I have not seen any evidence to suggest Acronis have lost significant revenue by changing payment model.
It certainly makes more sense to freeze/ditch free version if they go down the lease route.
Anyway, as made clear, it would only might only affect future versions but it is hard to see what would change that much?

Because this amazing software is now turning into abandoned software for so many users who have been using the free version.
No, it's not like when they "dropped full support for V7 in prep for V8". You could download V8 as it had a free version as well and simply updated to it. That was natural progression.
But there is nothing "natural" about this. It is simply business.
As for "it won't stop working", yes it will. It eventually will, as it depends on so many things. Just to name a few: BItLocker could change, there could be new filesystems, a new partition table, or just new hardware in general on which Macrium v8 free will not work without updates.
Yes this is an extremely huge deal as this was a #1 free software, a must-have for everyone and now they are ending it. This software is famous for bringing data security to the masses, even to the average Joe.
