how do I download my software ??????

Thread needs solution

My Computer died and I now have another. All I wanted to do is download the software I purchased.
I have never been confronted with so much complication in a simple proceedure!
I have my invoice, my serial number and I dont want to update anything so how can I just reinstall what I had.

I went to my customer account and logged in and downloaded what was presented as my download . installed it and then it wants 2 serial numbers to upgrade and wont accept one serial number ?

I cant get hold of customer support, cant email them without buying some support tickets, its outrageous. I can only post in the forum!

how do you contact the helpdesk??

A review of my signature link #9 may be of assistance.

The software presented to you for download is dependent upon you having registered the serial number following your purchase--whichever version it was.
If you registered the serial number for your original purchase, that version will be available for download. Or if never registered by you to your account, that still can be done so the appropriate software will be available for download.

If you have made multiple purchases over the years and registered those serials, each of these will be listed in your account.
Likewise, the serial numbers will be available to your for anything you registered

Whether one or two serials is required depends upon what software you purchased.
If you purchased a full version, only one serial is needed.
If you purchased an upgrade version, this implies that you owned prior full version so you would need both the original serial plus the subsequent upgrade serial--thus two serials needed.

Here are two links from Acronis Knowledge base regarding licensing. Different versions required differing procedures but you will need to remove the license from the old computer assignment (their database info) in order to install the same license on a new computer.

You do not indicate which version of Windows involved nor which version of True Image, so just an FYI which may not be relevan which is that TI 2013 is not compatible with Windows 8.1.

Hi and thank you for your response

My computer is Dell T5400 Dual Quad Core Xeon E5450 3.0Ghz 32GB RAM Windows 7 professional.
The software is Acronis True Image 2015 Build 6525.
I have registered the serial number and been to my account and have downloaded the Acronis True Image 2015, the only link that is offered to me. I have not purchased any software before from Acronis.

After downloading I install Acronis True Image 2015 and am asked for my serial number which is accepted, with a big green tick. Another window pops up and asks for my previous serial number ????? this is not an upgrade it is a restore!

This is the only link available, there is no other to download my original version.

Still had no response from customer services?

I purchased the full version and my original computer is dead.

Hi Clifford,
according to our database you really have an upgrade license, which requires a key from previous version to activate the program. Can you please clarify which serial numbers you used to install Acronis True Image 2015 on your old computer? Are you sure that it was successfully activated?
In any case we'll do our best to help you!
Please send me a private message with all details.
Alternatively you can contact our support http://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/contact-us.html
Just select "customer care - serial number issues"
Thank you,

In February I purchased Acronis True Image 2015 for the first time. I had only one serial number and I have not purchased any previous software before at all.
I do not have a previous serial number other than the one I bought in February. I entered the one serial number when I installed in February and it was a first time install. you can see I paid £23.95.
My email address is the one you sent this email to. I have never bought software previously from you.

Acronis couldn’t have been more unhelpful and only provided support if I paid £20. They haven’t responded at all to my emails which is disgusting.

Surely this is a common occurrence when a Computer becomes unusable as mine, there is a channel to re-download the software. It is laughable for Acorns to wash their hands of support after three months- then want £20 to talk to them.

Clifford,
Any chance you had either the Seagate or Western Digital free version of the Aconis program installed on your computer and you then ugraded from the publie free version into the 2015 purchased version?

If this happened to be true, you still need to have the free vendor version installed before the purchased will work on new install if using an upgrade version.

Hi Clifford,
I'm copying here my private message to you:

I understand your frustration, but let me please explain the situation.
Upgrade licenses always need a so-called "base license". In most cases it is a license of a previous product version, or, in some cases it can also be an OEM version of software. Please take a look at Grover’s answer here: http://forum.acronis.com/forum/90003#comment-271776

As for difficulties contacting support, I don't see any emails from you in our system. We have only one support case created yesterday after we've received an email from Cleverbridge - our eCommerce provider.
Could you please clarify which email address you've used to contact us so that I can clarify the situation?

+ you don't need to have an active support program for contacting us with licensing/customer care questions. As I've described in my previous posting, you just need to select proper issue type:

Just select "customer care - serial number issues"
