Acronis 2017 Software Startup Question
Every time I launch the software it has a login box pop up
Is there any way of getting rid of it
I do not want cloud backup and do not want an Acronis login, I just wanta stand alone software
Would appreciate your help

Thank you very much indeed for your reply Steve, I really appreciate it
I will give negative feedback to Acronis because it is very annoying. I bought V2017 as a one off and have no intention of using cloud.
I do not see why I should be forced to provide my personal data to Acronis just to get rid of an annoying pop up box that I will never use
I should have stuck with 2013 version
Thanks so much

Well I contacted support ( I was forced to open an account to contact them )
They confirmed the pop up cannot be disabled
But VERY ANNOYINGLY - by creating an account to contact support they gave me a "free trial" of cloud - the very thing I did not want
There is no option to delete the free trial and no option to delete the account i only created in order to contact them.
Acronis have no respect for personal data or personal preferences and seem intent on trying to take over
I will never ever use Acronis again and would never ever recomend them to anyone else
Thanks and appreciation to fellow forum users

Charles, a free trial of Acronis Cloud is for 30 days only, after which it ends and any data stored in the Cloud is deleted.
There is no personal data stored unless you upload that to the Cloud, which you clearly state that you have no intention of doing. The personal data you provided to create the Acronis account are only used for that purpose and is really no different than that asked by many other companies.
