"Too many activations" issue

Possible reasons for the issue:

• You exceed the maximum number of computers with installed Acronis True Image 2021.

  For example, you have one license or a serial number for one computer and you install Acronis True Image on a second computer.

  Solutions:

  • Enter a new serial number. If you do not have one, you can buy it in the Acronis built-in store or at the Acronis website.
  • Move the license to your new computer from another one on which the product is already activated. To do this, select the computer from which you want to move the license. Note that Acronis True Image will be deactivated on that computer.
• You reinstall Windows or change hardware of your computer.

  For example, you might upgrade motherboard or processor in your computer. Activation is lost, because Acronis True Image sees your computer as a new one.

  Solution:

  To reactivate Acronis True Image on your computer, choose from the list the same computer by its old name.
