If so, did you buy from Adobe.com, an online store like Amazon, through a reseller like Fuzzy Orange, or did you have maintenance?
Does everyone know you can get maintenance with ColdFusion?
Maintenance comes in two forms:
2 year Maintenance Platinum support (annual)
Both entitle you to free upgrades during the maintenance period. However, Platinum also includes 24/7 support from Adobe, and entitles you to customer specific hotfixes (so if you find a bug and need it fixed, Adobe WILL fix it for you).
Platinum support (and possibly maintenance) is only available via resellers.

Remember that there is NO direct upgrade form path from 6.1 to 9 - you will need to do a brand new install.
If you've kept your maintenance active then you should have CF7/8 licenses kicking about so you could upgrade from 6.1 to 7/8 and then upgrade to 9.

I've got a couple of servers I plan to upgrade over the next few months, but
I haven't even had time to install a dev copy of CF9 yet...
I'd always recommend buying from a re-seller like Andy, as it gives you
someone to shout at! :)
However, if you do buy CF (or any other software) direct from Adobe, you can
save 10% using a cash-back site such as http://www.topcashback.co.uk
