How to buy Acronis 2017 (or earlier version) in 2018?

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I want to buy Acronis True Image, but I don't like 2018 version. It's heavy, it installs too much of processes in the background, and has a tray icon that I don't need and can't turn it off. I wanted to buy some old version instead (2014-2017), as I heard it's much lighter and has an ability to turn off the icon in tray. Is it possible?

Sorry but cannot help you here.  I do not know where older versions of ATI may be purchased from and it you are running on Windows 10, then all versions from 2014 and older are not compatible with the OS, plus have no support for newer hardware you may have in your computer.

The better solution would be to install ATI 2018 then stop all unwanted background services / set these to Disabled which will lessen the performance footprint.

See KB 60522: Acronis True Image 2018: Windows services and processes  which lists all the services and their purpose to help you better understand what you may need or not need.

Personally, ATI 2018 is one of the best ATI product versions I have used, and if you hold on for another few months, then there will be discount offers as Acronis gets ready to launch their 2019 product (which is currently in Beta testing).

This actually worked and the tray icon is gone too! So it seems i'lI buy 2018 after all! Thanks!!!!
