When cloning my boot disk, how do I carry over the registration?
I want to put in a larger boot drive. After I clone the disk, will the Acronis registration carry over or do I need to do something?
Thanks,
Ken K

Kennith, ditto to Perdido - I've never used clone and always backup and restore a full disk and have had no issues. However, cloning should leave everything as it is on the old disk. The only time licensing is an issue is if you actually change hardware - in which case, Windows OS and other software that is tied to the orignial motherboard may require reactivation. As far as Acronis is concerned - moving to a new disk in the same hardware is not a problem. If there is a licensing problem (which there shouldn't be), you will be prompted to deactivate from an existing computer, so you'd log into your account and move the "old" instance to the new one and that would be it.
