Too many activations
I just had to do a re install on my pc. I also have the boxed 3 licenced version. I just received a Too many activations message. Can someone please tell how I go about moving over my previous key to the same pc?

It does show a licence. But it does not show the correct one. It shows the licence from my notebook. I am hesitant to switch it. As I am not sure if this will cancel my licence from my notebook all together.

Paul,
It should be showing all PC's that you have activated.
Have you given the re-installed PC a different name?

What a mess. Only one license comes up. I just tried moving my licence from my notebook to my pc. Now when I try using the last key on my notebook it will not activate. I get the same error as before. This is so frustrating.

This is one of the prices for having this kind of on-line active activation. It's sold to the vendor as trouble-free, virtually invisible to the user, but . . .
You should contact customer service but first check the userguide on how to move a license to make sure you've done everything on your end correctly, after that, Acronis needs to provide you a working license.

Ooh.. I can finish that one: but so many companies have tried it and seen it fail so miserably that everyone in the business knows that they don't work.. no matter what the vendor says. You have to have a choke-hold on the world (think MicroSoft) to get away with such an activation scheme without customers leaving you en masse (and even MS has taken a hit on it).
I do not belive in piracy but such activation schemes are absurd. The dishonest people are still going to get around it, the people that weren't going to buy it in the first place are still not going to buy it (they'll go on to something else) and the honest user gets stuck with a whole boat-load of "rearus painus" to show for it. Nobody really wins, but the honest customer loses.
