Moving 2013 License to Another Computer

Thread needs solution

Folks,

I'm having a great deal of difficulty moving a True Image Home 2013 to another computer. I've uninstalled from the original computer and installed on the new computer. I click activate on the new computer and get prompted to "Deactivate another copy". I select it buy get an error. It says Error has occured and the system administrator has been notified. How do I get around this problem?

Thanks,
Joe

IIRC, you're supposed to deactivate the first PC (presumably before you uninstall), then you can activate on the new PC. Another MVP may know what to do now, or you could contact Acronis Support.

There is a bug in the release of 2013 that will not allow automatic internet based resolution of the "too many activations". There is a workaround I posted a while back that can be used. See this post: http://forum.acronis.com/forum/36059#comment-112294

There is no way to de-activate a license before re-installing.

I had one computer crash and as a result had to replace it with another computer. I need to move the license over so that I don't get the multiple request error. On the new computer I see the resolve isse link. When I click it I get the expected window that has a link to deactivate one of the computers. When I click that link it doesn't work. I do not see the page listed in the documentation. I can't deactivate from the old computer because it is no longer available. How can I resolve this issue?
