How to deactivate?

Thread needs solution

I have Acronis 2012 installed on one PC. Now I want to move the program to another PC. Do I just uninstalled it from the PC it's currently on or there is a another way to deactivate the program from the current PC? I want to free up the program serial number so I can use it on another PC.

Thanks

Only one copy at a time can be activated. You do not need to remove the program from the original system first, but it will no longer be activated after activating on the new PC. You can install the 2012 copy on the new PC and it will complain that the serial number is already activated and prompt you to "resolve" it. You should be able to follow the prompts to get the serial number activated on your new system.

You can then uninstall 2012 from the first computer. I would also recommend that you run the 2013-2011 cleanup utility http://kb.acronis.com/content/34876 on the original system
