I have a licensing question about TIH 2017 And TIH 2018

Thread needs solution

Forgive me I'm sure this is covered here but I haven't found an answer that I understand.

I have a Perpetual license copy of of 2017 for 5 PC's.  I have just bought a boxed version of TIH 2018 it is a  Perpetual license for 5 PC's.  How do I deactivate the 2017 version and install the 2018 version.  I don't want to tie up two licenses on one PC.  Like having a license of 2017 and 2018 assigned to the same PC.  I hope this makes sense. I appoligize I am undergoing Chemo treatment for Colon cancer. And I have that Chemo Brain going on where my brain does not always working like it should. I just have some fog in my nog.

I've always had just one account with Acronis.  I have licenses dating back to the 2011 Version.

I kind of understand that I can create a new Acronis account with a different email address (I Think) and move say the 2017 License to that new account. And then Install the 2018 version on my existing PC's.

I just want to free up the 5 2017 Licenses in case I decide I don't like 2018.

I'm sorry this may not make any sense at all to you.  But thank you for any advice. Or just tell me I really shouldn't even own a PC.   Thanks again.

Wesley, there is no simple method of deactivating your ATIH 2017 licence / activation from your computer but if you install ATIH 2018 on the same computer, then should you want to re-use your ATIH 2017 licence, you can install it on a new / different computer and if you have already previously all your licences, then you will be given a choice of options of how to proceed.

See KB 58554: Acronis True Image 2017: "You've exceeded the maximum number of activations for this serial number" for information on these options.

I would recommend keeping all your ATI licences all assigned to your existing Acronis account rather than setting up a new one and transferring licences across etc.

I wish you well with your chemo treatment and hope that this will be successful for you.
