"Incorrect credentials" message from direct login only

Thread needs solution

First time ever in any forum... so bear with me.

Yes, I did a search in Acronis' KB and on this forum site before starting this question.

Problem - I need to log into my Acronis account via the True Image software interface as this seems to be the only way I can move my license from my OLD computer to my NEW computer (apparently uninstalling in OLD before wiping the drive wasn't enough).

However, when I attempt to login in I ger a "incorrect credentials" message.  To most that would suggest a mistyped user ID or password. Even if I copy and paste the userID (email address) & PW (from a word doc - just to make sure I'm not making a typo) that I use to successfully log into my Acronis account from their website, I still get the same error message.

Suffice to say, I do IT support so I'm well aware of login issues.  My problem is WHY the issue between a web log in and the software interface login??

Help greatefully accepted!

Calvin, welcome to these user forums.

The other possibility for this issue is that the serial number that you have used to activate ATIH 2016 is registered to a different email address than the one you are trying to login with and giving you the incorrect credentials message.

We cannot help directly with an credentials issues for registration or activation in the user forums as  we do not have access to any Acronis systems that may hold that information.  If you need further help with issues related to registered email addresses or serial numbers etc, you will need to contact Acronis Support as per article: 18623: How to get Technical Support: Tips, Tricks and Useful Information

Thanks Steve.  There is an irony in this.  After contacting Support for assistance and receiving a bland "You need to buy another license" I turned to their 'support' page and scoured the KB.  Then their support page suggested the forum. Et me voila - And here I am!  LOL.

I'll recheck the serial # I entered on the reinstalled product but rather suspect I entered it correctly as my first 'issue' was a "too many activations" message. This was the reason Acronis Support suggested I buy yet another copy. Can't blame them for wanting to sell more product! It is a great product as long as you never have to replace your hard drive or install a new OS.

All the best,

Calvin
