ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I have recently purchased Acronis True Image 9.0 (in a box with a disk and a serial number), and I installed and used it successfully on one computer.I am wondering if I am allowed to legally install the product on another machine I own? I cannot find this information in the booklet that came with the product, or on the Acronis website, nor in the products Help section.Suggestions?

-pops- Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I wondered this a long time ago and, like you, could find nothing about the subject so I went ahead and installed in on a total of three machines.They don't know about it and if you keep quiet, nobody else will either - not all companies are as paranoid as MS about their software :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Thanks, John - a good answer :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I have an 80GB plug in drive where I keep by backup to C Drive. My second fixed hard drive is also 80 GB and only contains my photographs. I have just also backed up the C drive to this D drive using Acronis, giving me two full back ups. There is no reason that I have not done right is there?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 My question was about installing Acronis on multiple machines, not taking multiple backups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 My question was about installing Acronis on multiple machines, not taking multiple backups.I appreciate that, and I am sorry if I hijacked the thread a little. It just occurred to me that the two people who have posted to this thread know more about computers than me, so that is why I asked my question.

IMTNT Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 From the Acronis True Image 9.0 EULA.2. The original purchaser can use the software on a single computer. You cannot use the software on more than a single machine, even if you own or lease all of them, without the written consent of Acronis.http://download.acronis.com/pdf/TrueImage9.0_ug.en.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 The EULA - of course. I actually saw that document on the Acronis website, but it wouldn't open for me past the TOC.Thanks for the quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 I actually have that document on my HD at C:\Program Files\Acronis\TrueImageHome\UserGuide\TrueImage.pdf - all clear now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
