(p. 109).
The following steps should be performed first on the sync owner's computer and then on another
computer. Note that only the sync owner can change settings of the sync, invite other users to the
sync, delete the sync, etc.

1. Start Acronis True Image Home 2012.
2. On the Synchronization tab, specify your Acronis account credentials (your registration e-mail
address and password) and then click Log in.
Login is required only when you create your first sync. Afterwards login is performed
automatically.
