Acronus True Image Home 10

I have several PCs I need to backup regularly.

If I buy one copy of ATI 10 home, can I install this software on all the machines or do I have to buy a copy for ... each machine?

I'm also considering whether it makes sense to get the workstation version, but I think the home version is probably fine as long as I can install it on multiple machines.

Look forward to info on this.

Thanks.

Per the license agreement, you need to purchase a copy of the program for each machine it will be used on. If you plan to use TI on three computers, then you need to purchase three copies.

 

That stinks.

I mean, for a home product, there should be a "fair use" provision where you can use it on multiple PCs. Jeeees.

So, If I bought one (1) copy of the Workstation version, then I could backup each machine on the network (no copy per machine restriction), right?

Thanks in advance.

This question has been asked many times. A forum search for "license" will bring them up.

As for the Workstation version, I think the same one license per computer also applies. See this post from Acronis Support.

Note that the important verb in the license agreement is "use" as opposed to "install". In other words the license goes much further than preventing you install on multiple machines. What it is saying is that when you create a Recovery CD you can only use it on the machine for which it is intended.

You cannot (for example) buy one license, create a recovery CD based on that license and use it to backup/restore to multiple workstations. You would need a license for each one.

It's not a fair use issue. It's merely a matter of a product being offered at a price and then the prospoective customer deciding whether the product is worth that price to him.

I think multiple-machine licenses are available, but don't expect such licenses to sell for the same price as on for a single machine..

A point well made.
