Buying new computer

I am going to buy a new computer.

I have a fully paid up version of Acronis TI which is on my
present computer, and a working copy of BartPE.

Can I use my .exe file to install Acronis TI onto my new computer
and add drivers for my new computer to BartPE, or do I have to
buy a new copy of Acronis TI.

Thank you.

 

My understanding is that you need one license for each computer that you are backing up. So if you intend to use Acronis on the old computer, you would need a second license for the new computer.

If you are abandoning the old computer, you do not need to purchase a second copy of Acronis - you are merely transferring Acronis from the old computer to the new computer.

 

Thanks for the reply LenC, that's what I figured.

I assume there is no need to make a new BartPE CD, but just put the new drivers from the new compter on to it.

 

You will have to add the new drivers to the correct folder of your BartPE setup and then recreate the BartPE CD. You can't just "add" the drivers to your existing CD.

If you still have PEbuilder installed then it's a simple matter to add the drivers. I ususally keep my installed so it's easy to recreate when necessary.

 

Thanks MudCrab, that's cleared my query up nicely.
