True Image for Western Digital - Reinstalled SW to new location - Now Wants New Activation

Thread solved

I bought a WD external HD last week and installed Acronis True Image for Western Digital OK (and did my 1st backup fine). However, I realized the program installed in a temp zip file location. I needed to change that so I did a uninstall and reinstalled it to C:/programs (86). Now it is can't see my connected WD device and is is asking to re-activate the product. Please help.

Greg, welcome to these public User Forums.

See KB 2201: Support for OEM Versions of Acronis Products which applies to all OEM versions of ATI supplied with hardware purchases.

All OEM versions of Acronis have specific restrictions / limitations for their use and activation, where the common factor is being able to find an OEM drive of the vendors make.
