Please follow the instructions in https://www.akeebabackup.com/instructions/1435-akeeba-backup-download-id.html Yes, I know that you have probably already entered your Download ID. Please, do follow these instructions down to the last comma and the upgrade will work. If it doesn't work, follow these instructions to the last comma. If you are convinced that following these instructions doesn't help, go back, read them again very carefully and carry out every single one of them. I insist because in exactly 100% (no kidding, no exaggerating) of similar cases the solution is simply following those instructions.
