The actual state of my old "Acronis True Image 2021 Perpetual license" is ...

Thread solved

Looking at other messages in the forum, it appears that if I choose to drop "Acronis Cyber Protect ..." and re-install TI-2021 I can, in fact, retain the perpetual characteristics of it.

I'm a little confused though because when I downloaded TI-2021 and installed it on a "clean" PC (my laptop flamed out and I'm re-building it), I'm seeing things that look a lot like the Cyber wiz-bang product. It displays "Acronis True Image 2021 build 39216", but with cloud storage.

The cloud storage is scheduled to expire on the date my Cyber product will; will the basic backup function continue to work perpetually?

Or should I uninstall TI-2021 and just wait until after the Cyber product dies in order to get a clean TI-2021 installation? I was happy with TI for years (I have TI-2009 as the earliest sample) and if I can get TI-2021 working as I remember it, I'll be happy.

There is no "kill switch" in ATI 2021. Like earlier versions, the perpetual license will continue to work (unless it is broken by an OS update). Like earlier versions of ATI there is no longer technical support or updates. In the past (in recent months) new builds of older versions of ATI have been released to address security issues.

Out of abundant caution I have local copies of the installation files for all versions of ATI for which I have a license. I also have the Linux iso as well.

Bert, if your ATI 2021 is a perpetual license, then the best / easiest method of getting this to work as perpetual is to sign out from your Acronis Account (on the Account panel) and enter the serial (license) number you got when you purchased ATI 2021.

If you want to continue using any Cloud storage prior to it expiring then you can sign back in to your Acronis Account for ATI 2021 and it will still retain your serial as a perpetual license.

Note: Acronis have released a new build #39287 today for ATI 2021 (& #18100 for ATI 2019).

Thanks to both of you. Looks like it's alive for as long as I care to keep it.
