ABR 11 License server TI enterprise 9.1 key support appears to be withdrawn

Thread needs solution

I am incredibly frustrated at the moment as I just cannot get ABR 11 to function. The reason for this seems to be that someone has withdrawn support for the keys of my base installation product from the ABR 11 licensing server.

The constant stream of fix instructions comming from Acronis support is to install the keys from my base installation (TI 9.1) and to keep downloading massive files.

I am, at the moment, bordering on going elsewhere for my DR solution. I am severely disappointed with the time it's taken for new builds to come out of the development team and even more disappointed that they cannot increment the build number by a decimal to indicate an updated installation file. I have to download 1.16GB to look at a digital certificate to know if it's the right version or not.

I urge Acronis to get its act together and either provide me with keys that work, or an installation that works. My company is in a rural area with poor quality broadband and I cannot afford to keep downloading these files to find out they fail to install or are the wrong version.

Long and the short of it. ABR 10's license server works with ABR 11 keys, withdraw ABR 11's license server and put ABR 10's into the install package.

I'm very disappointed at the lack even of an acknowledgment.

9 days after initially reporting this issue and 8 downloads to the tune of 9.68GB over a very slow rural area broadband link and I am no further forward in getting my ABR 11 installation running.

I have been a loyal customer of Acronis since around 2002 but I am finding it very difficult now to justify the yearly maintenance contract that I have for this product.

Lee,

Is it just the licence server that isn't working for you?

Did you uninstall ABR10 license server before installing ABR11? This seems to cause some problems if not done.

Hello Lee and Colin,

Thank you for your posts and your kind help Colin.

Lee, let me help you with this issue as well please.

We just released a new hotfix that addresses this issue. I will also follow-up with a unique download link to make sure that you have the latest updated file with the hotfix.

Please accept my sincerest apologies for the inconvenience.

If you have additional questions please let me know.

Thank you.

Hi Anton,

I'm really dispairing now. Two weeks without a system backup, this is starting to get very dangerous.

Support keep trying to get me to do work arounds but none are working. I'm still waiting for a response to a mail I sent on Monday and I have a server move to do this weekend that I cannot do without a backup.

It doesn't matter if it's the hotfix build or not, I get the following:

I'm getting really tired of work arounds, I just need this application installed.

just to add, agent.exe takes a rediculous amount of time to shut down during the install, and remains there and active after an uninstall.
