Not sure what is wrong - it may have something to do with ATI 2018 being an outdated version - the current version is ATI 2020. One possibility is that somehow the activation code and the serial number have become confused.
Have you tried online chat to see if they can offer any advice - you would need to do this on a PC with internet connection.

Hi Ekatarina,
thanks for corresponding. Yes, it was exactly like written in your link. I used the same one and followed step by step. The error "activation invalid" appears when i´m clicking the activation-button after giving the actvation code in the field (by copy and paste). I didn`t rename the file, i tried this five times or more. I also tried this by typing it in manually. I also got a new activation key from your homepage and tried again - no solution. My software is a full version for three pc´s, never registered before (says your registartion platform). It´s a Box-Version with DVD. I´ve absolutely no more idea. Someone wrote that this software is an outdated version. Can you confirm this ? I can´t believe...

Fritz, if you have installed from a Boxed version DVD, then it is very likely that the build version is very old and outdated, but that should not prevent correct activation unless there was a bug in the build on the DVD.
The final build version for ATI 2018 was #15470 which I would encourage you to download from your Acronis Account web page and then retry activating after updating to that build.
The build is shown on the Account page in the ATI GUI if you are able to access it.
