Reassigning an activated subscription

Sometimes you may want to use an already activated subscription instead of an available subscription. In these cases, for example:

• You no longer need to back up one of your machines and you want to reuse that machine’s subscription for another machine.
• You reinstalled Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 on a machine and want to resume its online backups.
• You recovered a machine to bare metal (or to a state when it did not yet have an activated subscription) and want to resume its online backups.

Reassigning a subscription does not restart its subscription period.

To assign an activated subscription to a machine

1. On the machine to which you want to assign an activated subscription, go to the subscription activation window.
2. From Activated subscriptions, select the activated subscription that you want to reassign to the machine.
3. Click Activate now.
4. To keep the data that was previously backed up under the subscription, click Keep. To delete this data, click Delete.
