MultiPC LicensingI

Thread needs solution

I am a small IT consultant.

If I purchase a license for 3 PCs, can I deploy these 3 licenses to 3 PCs in different locations; i.e. to 3 different customers 1 PC for each customer.

 

Thanks for any assistance

Ken,

This is a user forum.  Although Acronis monitors the  forum, and sometimes respond to technical issues, most of the responses come from individuals, like me, who donate their time to help other users. 

My recommendation is to contact Acronis directly.

My best guess is that Acronis would balk, especially if your customers wanted the registrations to be in their name.

If you had an agreement with your customers that you owned the software license, and the registrations were in your name, you might be OK.  Of course, contacting a lawyer to get a legal opinion would be about 10 times the cost of the license, if you were lucky.

Agree with FtrPilot.  Tehcnically, there is nothing wrong with deploying 3 different licenses to 3 different locations if you are the owner of those computers.  

However, Acronis True Image Home is a non-commerical version of the application so, technically, according to the EULA, you shouldn't use it in a commercial environment (one where you are making profit through the use of the application).  To be on the up and up with the licensing, you would need the Acronis Backup Business Verison which basically does the same thing, but costs a little more... However, licensing for customers would be in line with the Eula for the business line.

Does everyone do that - probably not, but as FtrPilot mentioned, I don't see Acronis allowing you to give each person their copy of one your ATIH licenses.  The licenses belong to the purchaser which are associated to the account that purchased them.

Hello Ken,

Thank you for your posting! If you have 1 licence of Acronis True Image for 3 computer, you can activate this license on three different machines in different locations. But the number of activations should not exceed the allowed by your license type. If you attempt to activate the license key of the additional machine, you will be prompted to move one activation to this new machine.  For the detailed information please refer to the following article: https://kb.acronis.com/content/56550

Thank you,
