Two questions on the latest Acronis Upgrade Offer For Older Versions.

Thread needs solution

I'm an existing Acronis user (TI2012 on W7 and TI10 on Vista) and I've been looking at TI2014 to use with W8.1 but if I'm honest have found the price of £39.95 uncompetitive compared to other rival products.

On the "buy" tab of the Acronis site is an upgrade offer for existing users (that suggests any older version qualifies as long as I have the serial number, which I do).

Two questions...

1) Could I upgrade either my TI10 or TI2012 products ?

2) And most important of all... is the upgrade "clean installing" meaning that NO PREVIOUS VERSION version of Acronis is required to be installed first. I would be installing Acronis on a CLEAN WINDOWS 8.1 installation. Is that possible with the upgrade version.

Thanks.

I have requested the forum moderator to follow-up on your question as to pricing.

The installation will not require a prior version be installed but will require the input of two serials which would be the serial for the old plus the serial for the new but the installation file will be a standalone file installed onto a non-Acronis disk.

Note there is also a family pack which offers 3 licenses under a single 2014 serial. The old serials would still be required for input.

Thanks for that Grover, appreciate it.

It was whether the upgrade would have to be installed over a previous version that concerned me most but it seems that is not the case from what you say.

Hello Mooly,

please take a look at our upgrade table. As you can see there you can upgrade from any of licenses. Please note that you can also upgrade to 3PC license.

And this guide help you to install an upgrade version.

Grover, thank you very much for helping!

Thanks Anna. Those two links answer and address all my questions.

Just to say that I have installed TI2014 "upgrade" and all went smoothly. Its proving its worth already as I configure a super clean install of W8.1. Making incrementals as you go along means I can undo anything that I was less than happy about while clean installing and also allows me to construct a set of "easy install" recovery images to do a new clean install in future as/when various software is updated.

So thanks :) I'm glad I stuck with Acronis having tried Macrium and Paragon free trials. Macrium was basically fine, Paragon way to user unfriendly and it also seemed to lack a restore from within Windows feature.
