Transfer licence

Thread needs solution

Hello All,

 

I'm upgrading my PC and want to transfer my 2016 licence to the new one. I would consider upgrading to 2019. How is this done?

 

Thanks

Hi Patrick,

Basically, you just install Acronis 2016 on the new machine and either log in to your account to register it, or enter the serial #.  If prompted that you have exceeded your license count, then it will take you to an option to disable it from an older computer and then continue activating on the new one.

I'd recommend upgrading to 2019 simply for the updated driver compatibility, bug fixes (although there are still bugs in 2019 too) and support.  Probably would hold off until 2020 comes out though as it's likely to be out towards the end of summer.

FYI, check for sales / discounts too.  I just received an offer for an upgrade to 3 license for the price of 1 or 5 license for the price of 3 (perpetual licenses).  As I already have 2019, doesn't do me any good at the moment, but these offers come out a few times a year on the main website and also as email offers from time to time.
