deactivate licence

Thread needs solution

I am going to install Window 8 on the computer on which I currently have W7 and Acronis True Image 2013

I don't have another computer to move the licence to

how do i deactivate the licence so that I can reactivate on the same computer when I have installed Windows 8?

Bob,

If you are installing W8 as an upgrade nothing needs to be done, if you are wiping your W7 and installing W8 as a bare metal OS, when you install TIH 2013 again it will pop up a 'too many activations' message, follow the wizard and it will allow you to transfer the licence to the new system.

Does uninstalling ATI on any Win box subtract 1 from the number of activations?
Is there a deactivate this computer (like iTunes)?

Alan,

Uninstalling True Image does not deactivate the license.

When a new install is performed on a different system, True Image will report too many activations and then prompt you to resolve it by deactivating the previous install. (This is done online by following the in program prompts).

There is no way to manage (deactivate) the software installs other than through the program after installing a new copy.

I am trying to use my copy of true image after uninstalling it from the previous computer. It tells me there are too many copies. At the moment the other one is not able to get email so I want to back it up before retrying to reinstall things. ( made necessary incidentally by a trial of your true image 2014 that screwed up the machine big time.) Your system is a disgracefully unhelpful one that is possibly the only supplier to rate well below Microsoft for unpleasant selfish overprotection of its interest against even remotely decent service.
So how do I do it through the other computer with no internet connection possible? Zero out of a hundred so far. The worst company yet I have dealt with by a huge margin.

As for the idea that you have to re enter the previous key for upgraded software every time, that is so antisocial and primitive as to be almost unbelievable . I am really surprised Acronis still have customers.
