Previous serial no not accepted for upgrade
Having been prompted by marketing emails to upgrade to Acronis True Image 2014 Premium I purchased and downloaded it in October 2013.
For personal reasons I have only just got round to installing it. I have the serial number that came in the email with the download link, and I have the serial number for my previous product - True Image Home 2011 Plus Pack.
When entering the two serials, under the "Previous" one I get the message "The serial number is incorrect". It is a registered serial number in my Acronis account.
Anybody any clues please?

Ummm. That sounded good, so I went and checked. On my old computer I only have one entry-point to Acronis and that gives me the normal backup stuff. Help >> About only gives a page about True Image Home 2011 Plus Pack. I think it was a combined product at the time at a discount from buying the two parts separately.
I've also looked in C:\Program Files and don't see any obvious other .exe.
Next step is to see what I can find in 2011 emails!

Bingo, Mustang! :) :) Thanks.
I'm fairly sure about it being a combo product, even though they were available separately, and the combo isn't listed in the upgradeable product list. But you put me on the right track.
Searching my emails as I said I found the serial for my even earlier True Image Home 2010, and it sailed away with that :).
Now to get it registered and set up my first proper backup since 2011! Though I do have lots of folder/file straight copies.
Thanks again.
Bob.
