Support run around on windows 10

Thread needs solution

Dont know if this happend to anyone else.

I have purchesed True Image 2015 with cloud and when tried backing up it didnt work. it just got stuck.

Support found that 2015 doesnt work with windows 10 so they gave me the the 2016.

when the year cloud susbscription was over, i decided to only keep the local backup option. I have asked support if backing up to a local drive will still work. They said sure not a problem.

When the cloud subscription ran out the entire program just locked up asking for a key.

I emailed them and got the response: "downgrade to the 2015". I told them it wont work. they said do it anyway.

I downgraded. obviously now it doesnt work and i cannot back up to an external hard drive.

Now they are also saying that there is no support past 30 days!

How can i make this product actually work?

 

Thanks

Gal, welcome to these user forums.

It sounds like you have purchased the subscription based version of ATIH 2016 which will not work after the subscription is ended.

ATIH 2015 is definitely officially supported by Acronis to be used with Windows 10 so I am not sure why this wasn't the case for you.

Please see KB documents: 

56550: Acronis True Image 2016: Licensing and Upgrade FAQ

Thanks for the reply Steve!

Note that per Acronis support 2015 doesnt work on Windows 10.

This is the original ticket:

"Hello Gal,

Thank you for contacting Acronis Customer Central. My name is Irshad.

This is a follow-up mail post the chat conversation we had earlier today. You contacted us with backup issue.

As per the chat conversation took the remote access and updated on Acronis True Image 2016 and disabled VSS and initiated backup.

As it was taking longer time than expected, request you to please monitor the backup and let me know if the issue is resolved or not."

After the installation of the 2016 product, backup worked like a charm both locally and to the cloud.

When i was about to cancel the cloud subscription, an Acronis support rep also spesificly told me (in a chat) that the product itself will not stop working and only cloud access will be disabled.

My problem remains...

 

Gal, sorry but it is quite obvious that some of the Acronis Customer Central team do not have real experience in supporting these products.

If you want to pursue this as an issue, then please send a PM (private message) to Gaidar, General Manager Acronis True Image who has been very supportive in dealing with these types of problems.
