Purchase Acronis for Win. XP?

Thread needs solution

Hello users,

I currently have 3 Licenses for Acronis 2016 True Image. (1x32bit + 2x64bit OS)

I have recently set up two older machines running Win. XP

These machines are NOT connected to the Internet!

I would like to backup their entire contents, what must I do, e.g. I would need to Download the Software on to a USB device, then install on to the two XP machines from that USB.

Should I decide to later scrap these machines I would like to know that those new liscences are transferable to say Win. 10 OS?

&

Is there a direct email address I can contact Acronis with as they seem reluctant to give out their direct Contact details?

Thanks

Yes licenses are transferable to new machines.  If it detects you have more installs than lidenses, it just asks you to log in and deactivate on an "older" machine (one that you've disposed of).  

2016 is techncially not supported on Windows XP.  It can work, but with limitations.  Someone else was saying that the latest build that came out this week v6559 is not installing on XP, but the previous one, v6027 did just fine.  I'm not sure if it's just them or a bug with the new version, may want to contact customer support before purchasing.  

If you can't install it for some reason, you can always take images and restore them with the offline bootable recovery media outside of Windows too. 

Assuming you can get the latest installed (or the version before v6027), you can create bootable media from the application - an .iso, burn to disc, or burn directly to a USB flash drive (note it must be a "removable" flash drive, not an external UsB drive that shows up in Windows as a "fixed" disk.  From there, you boot to the media just like any other bootable CD or USB drive - just make sure yoru bios is configured to allow booting of such media.  The acronis bootable media is 32/64 and Legacy/UEFI bios capable so works on any machine that the bios is properly configured to allow booting for external media.
