Legal to move previous upgrade to different PC after new upgrade?

Thread needs solution

We have two computers, (say "A" and "B") both originally had full versions of TI 2009.
"A" has been upgraded - first to TI 2012 and just recently to TI 2013.

My question is - can I legally now upgrade "B" from 2009 to 2012 by moving "A"s license, or is that still required on "A" because it has the 2013 upgrade, not the full version.

I haven't read all the fine print of the user agreement a license but if one machine has ati2009 installed and one has ati2013, I don't see how it would be a problem, although you would have to deactivate ati2013 before moving it to another or you won't be able to keep it activated. You couldn't run, say, ATI2012 on one machine and ati2013 on the other as the license for use of ati2013 is based on it being installed in place of ati 2012.

I just realised that the TI 2013 I bought seems to be the full version (the UKP-15 digital download, similar price to the upgrade), so I can legally move my 2012 upgrade to "B" as per http://kb.acronis.com/content/22154.

(Update) All sorted.

But if my TI 2013 had been an upgrade I wonder if moving its 2012 licence away would have killed it. Someone else can find out.

The upgrade price is to upgrade the old version to the new version, for a single installation. It wouldn't allow you to have the old version installed on one PC and the new version installed on a second PC.

Versions ati2012 and ati2013, if you don't deactivate them one the machine for which they are originally activated, then they wont activate and stay activated on a second machine.
