installing build 3677

I had a terrible time upgrading to 3677 . Once installed and I tried to open it, the dialog box said I had invalid serial number and would have to reinstall again. A second install resulted in the same result. I then tried a repair which completed successfully and the reboot prompt appeared. After reboot the result was the same.
I had to completely uninstall, reinstall with version 8 & 9 keys and now it has started working.
The scheduled tasks were there but they had to be modified.
I hope acronis does something about this.

 

How are you upgrading...over the top or delete the old install first.

 

Initially installed over the top but finally had to uninstall previous version and make a fresh install with build 3677

 

With this build, you have to unistall the prior version or the upgrade will generate this serial number error. They should have put a note to that effect in a readme.txt file along with the rest of the upgrade download.

It's one thing to have to uninstall first (not the prefered situation) but worse to not be warned about it.

I'm used to programs that, if an upgrade requires an uninstall of a previous version, then the upgrade routine takes care of that.

 

I installed it on top of 3666 without any issues.

If using secure zone I strongly recommend running through the "Activate startup recovery manager" wizard before rebooting. Last time I forgot that I got an unbootable partition or some such error message on my next reboot.

 

Thats what I did, less chance of conflicts between old version and the new version etc.
