Activation through Proxy
I've read multiple forum posts of activation through a proxy server not working in previous versions of True Image 2021, is there anyway to activate through a proxy server on Acronis True Image 2021? using a perpetual license. Currently it goes to activate and then stalls.
I've read that the user may be able to tether their phone and activate that way but then when reconnecting to our network it may ask them to re-activate. We haven't attempted this method yet.

Sorry Steve,
It is an Essential License, not perpetual. My mistake.
According to https://kb.acronis.com/ati2021/activation
Essential licenses can't be activated offline.

Ben, the Essential license, like Advanced and Premium are all subscription and rely on being online and signed in to your Acronis Account for activation.
My personal opinion of the Essential license is that it is the worst of all worlds - where you are paying an annual subscription for everything the perpetual 'Standard' license gave but with none of the real benefits of the other subscription licenses, i.e. no Cloud storage, no Cyber Protection, just an annual fee and upgrades to the next version while you keep paying!
