Prompt for previous 2011 key when installing 2013

Thread needs solution

i bought the 2 upgrade packs to 2013, and therefore got 2 free copies). Yeah , i got suckered into the deal. :-)
I have upgraded using the new key but at no point have i been prompted me for the old / previous key as expected. Should it have ?

I ask because although I know i used the correct key as per the emails, maybe the Acronis email got them the wrong way around and when I install the NEW FREE copy, onto a clean machine, I dont want to get prompted for a previous version key... which of course there will not be.
If that makes sense..

So should I have been prompted for the old 2011 key ?

Normally, yes, when installing an upgrade licence it would prompt you for the new serial # and that of the older version, unless you're installing over top of an existing True Image 2011 installation.
