Upgrading to Cyber Protect 15 backup advanced license

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I am currently using Acronis Cyber Backup 12.5 Advanced with perpetual license and would like to ask will it effect my perpetual license and changed to subscription after upgrading to Acronis Cyber Protect 15 - Backup Advanced? As I noticed that Acronis Cyber Protect 15 - Backup Advanced no longer selling perpetual anymore and moving towards subscription.

thanks

Hello Steve!

Welcome to the forum.

Please refer to the following KB with the answers to the questions you may have regarding the upgrade: https://kb.acronis.com/content/65662

I hope this helps!

Thanks in advance

Hello Steve,

I recently had a discussion with a reseller about this.

  • If you have an unbroken maintenance period that started before they stopped selling perpetual, upgrading to v15 will stay permanent.
  • If you don't have maintenance you can't buy renew for perpetual licenses, and "upgrading" will effectively be a new purchase with the subscription model with new keys.
  • Advanced licences will become Backup Advanced. If you want features from Cyber Protect Essentials/Standard/Advanced that's not an upgrade, but you can trade in your current licenses for a discount for some time.
