Acronis True Image Home

[IHateMyJob2004]

I am getting Acronis® True Image Home 2009. I plan on buying it and getting the download version.

Now, I have more than one PC/laptop at home. Can I use the one copy I bought for use on multiple computers?

According to their EULA (page 3 of this PDF), it's one PC per license. If you take it off one PC, you can then put it on another one.

But, what about using it to just make images. Nothing is being installed to do that (I didn't read the PDF)

They cover that in the PDF as well.

You have the rights to run the Software on one (1) PC. Every PC creating an image and every PC to which an image is either deployed to or restored from must have a valid license.

You can only legally install it on one PC. But, you can then create the bootable Rescue Disk and use that on any machine any time, any where, and there is no trace of that being done. The bootable CDR does the job even when none of the program is installed. However, that is great for cloning, but it will not do any of the automatic backup imaging.

Not sure if the old version of True Image will be able to read images created by TI 2009? If so you can find old version for one pc and new version on your laptop

So, from a technical perspective, can the latest version be installed on two PCs?

Reading the EULA, it says I can install the PC on X number PCs so long as the backups are done on those other PCs.

So, I can backup A on B, Bon C and C on A with one license.

Anyw3ays, the Eula gave me the insight i needed. I can technically install it as many times as I want.

Why do you link to a site that is not the Acronis web site?

Because that is where Acronis tech support lives. That is their ofrficial site for support.

Yeah, that got me too when I was looking for some information. We use it for large scale imaging at work and when I pass some links around everyone gives the "WTF is this"?
