Is it possible to buy an upgrade to True Image 2016 5-Computers while having 5 separate licenses of 2011 version?

Thread needs solution

Hi all.

Like is Subject, is it possible to buy and of course use an upgrade to True Image 2016 5-Computers while having 5 separate licenses of 2011 version? I mean these 5 separate licenses of 2011 1PC would be the licenses I want to upgrade from.

I couldn't find any such information on forum.

I cannot think of any reason why you shouldn't be able to do what you ask, but you need to address this to the Acronis Sales people rather than the forum.

Any upgrade version of ATIH will require you to provide two serial numbers in order to install, one serial is for the new product, i.e. ATIH 2016, and the second would be from one of your 2011 licenses.

Please be aware that officially per KB document: 1689: Backup Archive Compatibility Across Different Product Versions that ATIH 2016 would not support your backup images created by 2011 - you would need to retain your bootable Rescue Media for 2011 if you think you may need to go back to those archives.

See also KB document: 3699: Acronis Software Upgrade Table which shows what products can be upgraded to ATIH 2016 where it shows that the following are eligible to upgrade:

Acronis True Image Home 2012 or older

Acronis True Image Home 2012 + Plus Pack or older

One further KB to be aware of: 56514: Acronis True Image 2016 Editions and Licensing - please note the key differences between subscription based and perpetual licenses for when you are deciding which version of ATIH 2016 you want to upgrade to.
