Activating Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office

To use Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office, you need to activate it via the Internet. Without activation the fully functional product works for 30 days. If you do not activate it during that period, all the program functions become unavailable except the recovery. The first time your computer is connected to the Internet and you log in to Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office with your login and password, the product will be activated automatically.

Too many activations issue

Possible reasons for the "Too many activations" issue:

  • You exceed the maximum number of computers with installed Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office.

    For example, you have one license or a serial number for one computer and you install Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office 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 Cyber Protect Home Office 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 Cyber Protect Home Office sees your computer as a new one.

    Solution:

    To reactivate Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office on your computer, choose from the list the same computer by its old name.
