Same here :(

I have the day off and wanted to upgrade my account and download the newest version as Im out of date and license close to expiration.

Anyone know where I can do this as their site is not opening?

I tried both of their sites and they have been down for over 24 hours.

We could have spent tens of thousands of dollars on new equipment and network connections which is how most companies fight DDOS attacks. However, that would have led to an immediate increase in prices which we though was detrimental to our customers.
