M/B Replacement causes activation requirement?

Thread needs solution

Had M/B issue with my Dell and had to replace. Running Acronis TI 2012 Home. It wants me to reactivate the product. Old serial number doesn't work. Thinking of doing a de-install and reinstall. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hello Charles, your motherboard replacement has changed the hardware signature of the system where your Acronis 2012 product is installed and this is now regarded as being installed on a different system and needs to be activated to continue working.

You will need to follow the steps in the second of these to move the license from your old hardware to the new.
