Without the upgrade insurance package you are only entitled to software updates for a period of 30 days from activation of the software. You can purchase an upgrade insurance package within 30 days of ACTIVATION of the main license.
V9 will be ready when it will be ready, there is no set point at the moment. So i can not give you a date right now.
U have still another 20 days ;-) Maybe consider the upgrade insurance to ensure to be able to use V9
