Am I Asking The Wrong Questions Here Or Will Acornis Not Work For Me?

Thread needs solution

Original post was "How can I make a crucial app last indefinitely?"

Hello;
First I hope I'm the the right forum, if not will a moderator please move this post to the correct one.

I use a MS application that cannot be installed and activated after 01/31/2011. It only allows for 2 activations and I'm using one of those now on a XP-Pro System. My objective is to have it up and running on W7 well before the drop dead date. If I were to later lose my OS / app hard drive what is the best way to rebuild / restore this app so I can continue to have access to it indefinitely.

Hardware config is Lenovo T500 Laptop that has 2nd internal HDD or a DVD-RW. I will also have an external USB-2 enclosure for the 2nd HDD. I haven't decided yet to leave Vista installed with W7 dual boot or create a Vista recovery DVD and blow Vista away. This may not be relevant but wasn't sure if multiple partitions would affect a recovery strategy or not. If I have to change my hardware platform in the future I'm hoping that the Universal Restore product can help me move the app at that time. I feel confident that Acronis has an answer to my situation but I wanted to be sure I purchased best product for the job. TIA for any guidance and help.

If failures occurs that block access to information or affect system operation, or if you accidentally delete necessary files, you will be able to easily restore the operating system and lost data.

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Workstation has a feature such as Acronis Universal Restore. Acronis Universal Restore provides an efficient solution for restoration of a hardware-independent system by replacing the crucial HAL and hard disk controller drivers. In the case of motherboard and CPU change the replacement of the crucial HAL is necessary.

Acronis Universal Restore is an optional program feature.
