I like to see more flexible licensing!

Thread needs solution

Hi

Why cant we get more flexible linensing I have 2 PC I want to licence and there should be more flexible license to buy whatever  amount I need?

 

If the problem is your billing isnt capable you can fix that as well. and get more revenue stream as I would bought 2 licences I would have used but opted out on buying 3 as its more than I need.

HI techman, user forum here, so we can't help you.  You should submit feedback directly to Acronis from your account or through the app.

My point of view.. Using standard, non-discounted, full price licenses... You can buy 2 licenses, but that would be at regular price. 2 x $49.99 = $99.98. The price break comes with 3 as 3 individual licenses would be $149.97, but can bought as a discounted 3-pack for $79.99 (and an even greater price break with 5). You might not need the third license, but it was still cheaper to get 3 than to buy 2 at full price - no? Upgrade pricing is even better down the road.  It's pretty standard practice to use this methodology to get you to buy a little more than you need at less the cost than you would have spent if you only bought what you needed.

As another example... there's a competing product that many disgruntled users throw around in the forums.  They charge $70 for a single license, which is a pretty significant markup compared to Acronis.  However, the next and only option is to pay double that, but get 2 additional licenses for free.  So, you can buy 1 for $70, 2 for $140 or 4 for $140.  Of course, you'd buy 4 instead of 2 for the same price, but you're still paying $140 for what essentially equates to 2 licenses in your case and that's practically double what you're paying for with Acronis for the 2 licenses you really need.  

It's all marketing, but still not a bad deal in your case, as you did spend less to get 3 licenses than you you would have had to, to get just 2. If/when you upgrade, your 3 licenses will be $60 at regular price, but can often be found for a discount at certain times of the year.
