Acronis wants me to get an illegal product?
Well looks like it.
I downloaded a trial and after creating an image or 2 i decided to buy a license.
All worked well and unfortunately a big systemcrash appeared, computer had a huge breakdown.
"well no problem, i got Acronis True Image"
Just needed to install the software, enter the (by mail) given key and restore the image.
Well during installing the software i entered the key and to my big surprise the software "replied"with:
You are installing an upgrade, please enter the OLD serialkey.
Well shoot me, i don't have an old serial, only the one given after purchase.
Ha'i hear you say "Send a mail to the (Dutch) helpdesk and thing will be cleared out. It's a known and big company with a helpdesk and even a live chat".
Well after asking, begging, demanding help on the situation all i got is a very loud silence.
I checked my spam-box, nope not a single letter, let alone a complete mail from the helpdesk.
I don't want to get pirated software, but i really start to consider to get one from the internet.
I got a new computer now, ths would be the first pirated software ever on my system.
Thanks, helpdesk of Acronis.
(can i get a refund of my euro's now i'm stuck with software that is un-installable?)
