Rebuild PC and ATIH 2012 activation

Thread needs solution

I have ATIH 2012 Family Pack installed on 3 PCs (the limit). One of the PCs now needs to have its OS rebuilt (a clean install of a new OS). Should I do anything to ensure I can reinstall ATIH afterwards - e.g. should I deactivate it before I do the clean install? If so, how should I go about this?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi Jeremy,
This process is straight forward. Start by downloading the build #7119 installer fron your acronis acct. You do not need earlier versions as the latest version can be installed cleanly using your S/N.

Once installed, your activation will report that it is in use on another machine. Use the transfer to another machine dialog to move the licence to your new hardware. It will then deactivate the license on the old hardware and allow you to use your license on the new system.

Many thanks - looks really straightforward - I can now approach the task with a bit more confidence!
