Using Acronis 2012 on Windows 8 pc

Thread needs solution

I have Acronis 2012 on 3 pcs, 2x Windows 7 and 1x XP. I'm replacing the XP pc for a Windows 8 pc. Windows 8 installer assistant indicates that Acronis 2012 is incompatible. So two questions;
1) Can I transfer Acronis from one pc to another to since I have a 3 licence package
2) Will the transferred Acronis 2012 update itself when downloaded to be suitable of Windows 8

Can anyone advise please

Hello Barry,

welcome to Acronis Forum!

You can surely move your license to another machine even if it was already activated. Here you can find the relevant guide.

But your second quesitions is not completely clear. Acronis True Image 2012 doesn't support Windows 8 and even if you download the lates update of this program version it won't change the situation.

So if you want to use Acronis True Image on Windows 8 machine, you need to upgrade to a newer verison, and namely to Acronis True Image 2014.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.
