Activation through Proxy

Thread needs solution

I've read multiple forum posts of activation through a proxy server not working in previous versions of True Image 2021, is there anyway to activate through a proxy server on Acronis True Image 2021? using a perpetual license. Currently it goes to activate and then stalls. 

I've read that the user may be able to tether their phone and activate that way but then when reconnecting to our network it may ask them to re-activate. We haven't attempted this method yet.

Ben, welcome to these public User Forums.

The use of either proxy server or VPN is known to cause issues with Acronis Activation for some reason - for VPN it may be that the VPN IP is listed in such as the SpamHaus blacklists because of being used by spammers etc, not sure if the same would apply for using proxy servers?

You should be able to activate using your license serial number and then retain that activation regardless of being offline to the activation servers or disconnected from any networks.

See KB 45522: Acronis True Image: Activation Fails with "Failed to connect to the Acronis activation server" - for how to use the offline activation procedure.

Sorry Steve,

It is an Essential License, not perpetual. My mistake.

According to https://kb.acronis.com/ati2021/activation

Essential licenses can't be activated offline.

Ben, the Essential license, like Advanced and Premium are all subscription and rely on being online and signed in to your Acronis Account for activation.

My personal opinion of the Essential license is that it is the worst of all worlds - where you are paying an annual subscription for everything the perpetual 'Standard' license gave but with none of the real benefits of the other subscription licenses, i.e. no Cloud storage, no Cyber Protection, just an annual fee and upgrades to the next version while you keep paying!
