Acronis True Image 2014 Premium
Have Acronis people started Activation system for all of their products like Microsoft, Adobe and others? I haven't bought their products since 2009 so wondered what the current situation is. Thank you |

I have 9/10/12/13/14 And I loaded version 12 somewhere on two PC's and they activated, but a few days later one of them alerted me to the fact that it was installed on two PC's and this one was going to be deactivated. And I tried moving it from PC to PC and you have to go to your account page and login and deactivate the usage for PC #1 in order to then activate PC #2. So take it from there. |

Thank you +1 (Activation was deployed quite a few versions ago with single license, single pc. Reduced pricing is available on the 3 pc versions. Just a note....if you are purchasing and can find an ATI2013 version and register it, Acronis provides upgrades to ATI2014 free of charge. - Note: Retail versions are bootable and can be used without installation. Download version media is not bootable, but once registered a bootable backup/restore media can be downloaded and used in lieu of installation. -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |

Thx and greetz, Peter Hi Peter, I need to clarify my earlier statement. The offer to upgrade from 2013 to 2014 free of charge is available but to receive it one must open the download link on a Windows 8/8.1 pc. http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing...-upgrade/win8/ If accessing the link from Win7 (their server after identifying the o/s) shows (at this end) the 20% discount offer. Here's the link to the 2013 forum article showing the offer https://forum.acronis.com/forum/50750 Note: Once all requirements are met using a Win8 system (registration, etc.) the product download and serial number product key (for activation)will be available in the registered users My Account/Products and Download section. Additionally available will be the download for the bootable Rescue Media which can be used to backup and restore. - both Program and Rescue Media can be used on Win7, the latter does not install nor does it require ATI 13 or 14 to be installed. When **clean installing** the ATI14 Program 'upgrade' version, since it is an upgrade, the user will need to enter both version serial numbers when prompted (ATI13 and ATI14). If installing the 2014 upgrade on top of 2013, then only the 2014 registered serial number is necessary. - Finally, if not gathered from above, the upgrade is still single license, one pc for installed versions and replaces the prior activated version. Likewise, the 3 pc Family Pack 2013 version can also be upgraded. -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |
