Refund request due to wrong advise from Acronis Engineer

Thread needs solution

I contacted Acronis support prior to purchasing Acronis Backup 11.5. I have a Seagate BlackArmor NAS that came bundled with Seagate Backup, which is and Acronis Backup product. I wanted to be sure that the software upgrade will make use of my existing backup licenses so I don't have to also upgrade the 10 Seagate backup licenses that I already have. The engineer assured me that I only need to purchase the Acronis Backup upgrade and can continue to utilize my existing backup licenses with the upgrade.

I went ahead and purchase the upgrade software. After trying for several days, I couldn't get it to recognize the existing backup license. Contacted Acronis Support and now they say that the upgrade software will not recognize my existing backup license. All these communication is via email.

I then asked for a full refund, I have since gotten rejected. The Acronis Engineer handling my case kept asking me to purchase the correct product upgrade, but they don't have any upgrade that will work with my existing backup licenses.

Acronis does not have any correct product and should have told me early on so I wouldn't have wasted my time and money.

I have since uninstalled the software. Seems like Acronis is out to cheat unsuspecting customers and refuses to provide a refund even though it is their fault. This experience has left a sour taste for me...

Hi Ching!
I'm very sorry to know that you are not satisfied with provided service and I will do my best to improve your experience with Acronis! Please be sure that we'll clear up the situation.
Can you please clarify what is your goal and provide more information about your environment? As far as I see you have full Acronis Backup 11.5 licenses, which do not require any base serial numbers to be used in the product.
Thank you in advance for clarification!
