"Too many activations" issue

Possible reasons for the issue:

 You exceed the maximum number of computers with installed Acronis True Image 2016.

For example, you have a serial number for one computer and you install Acronis True Image on

the second computer.

Solutions:

 Enter a new serial number. If you do not have it, you can buy it in the Acronis built-in store.

 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 True Image 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 True Image sees your computer as a new one.
