Unable to transfer license to new PC

Thread needs solution

Hello, I'm having a problem transferring my license to a new PC

I purchased an upgrade license to TI2016*, and activated it my existing PC. This was about a month ago. This PC is logged into my Acronis account.

(*I had two previous copies of TI - 2013 full, and an OEM copy from some hardware I installed. Not 100% certain, but pretty sure I purchased the 'full' upgrade from the OEM version)

I've now installed TI2016 on my new PC using the same serial, and says it's not activated due to being activated elsewhere.

I select Resolve Problem-->I have Installed True Image on a New Computer-->Move License from another computer

I then get a message saying the product is registered to another account, and prompted to login - 'Submit registration details of another account'

I try logging in using my usual Acronis login details (which are correct, and work for logging into the website, forum etc), but am told 'The login or password you entered is incorrect, please, try again'

And I can't seem to go beyond this. I've tried registering with the OEM serial I had, but am told this is not a valid serial.

I've been into my account, and whilst it lists all my registered products, it doesn't say anything about the upgrade I purchased - and so won't allow me to raise a support ticket, even though I only purchased it a month ago.

I wondered if maybe I'd somehow used a different email address, as I can't find a confirmation email for the upgrade, but I do have an email I recieved after I purchased it confirming I've had a 1 month trial of Acronis Cloud activated as a result of the upgrade - and of course, the product I was upgrading from was, and is, linked to my account.

Any suggestions?
