Move Acronis True Image 2016 License from Old to New Computer

Thread needs solution

I'm building a new computer and I'm pre-planning the move of key appications onto the new computer.  In respect to my 1-seat license for Acronis True Image 2016, I guess the move plan is:

  • Downloadand install a 30-day free copy, then
  • Activate software with existing serial number

 

Is this plan correct?

No need for the trial.  Create bootable Rescue Media using the Media Builder tool found in the tools section of the application.  Select the Universal Restore option when you create the media.  It is best if you create the media on a USB flash drive.

Use the Recovery Media to create a full disk backup of your machine.  This backup should include all partitions on your current disk. Save that backup to another drive that you will have access to when you need to restore the created image onto your new machine.

Once you have your new build ready attach the disk that contains the backup to the machine, boot the machine using the recovery media you created, restore the image you saved on the secondary drive to your new machines main drive.  After the restore reboot back into the recovery media and run the Universal Resotre tool.  When that finishes, reboot the machine into the bios and set the bios to boot from the new drive.  If you find an entry in the bios boot order that reads Windows Boot Manager that is what you need to select to boot your new drive.

Thats it, other than installing current drivers for the new hardware of course.  Do that using the latest drivers available on your manufacturers support site.

Let me modify my orginal stsatement.  While moving to the new computer, I want to do a clean install after three years from the last clean install on the old computer.  Reinstalling an immage from the old system onto the new system would not be a clean install,

Now, with that said. what are the comments and recommentations to move the 1-seat license of Acronis True Image 2016 onto the new machine.

Once your clean install is done install Acronis True Image.  Click on your account (person icon) and login to your account.  You should be given options to transfer your license to the new clean install machine and unregister the app from your old machine.
