Here is the level of support I got so far. The phone support was even worse. It asks you to enter 20 keys and finally says the system is down and "try you call later".... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you... You have been connected to xxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxx: You need to install License server, then add the serial keys to it and Acronis Agent will take keys from the license server to install itself. Eralp Pinardag: I have done that already as I've explained in my request

Eralp Pinardag: I see the keys on the management console Eralp Pinardag: but the installer doesn't

Eralp Pinardag: the server is on my local workstation so it can't be a firewall problem

Eralp Pinardag: I've been using acronis for a long time and I don't like this new activation system one bit

Eralp Pinardag: windows 7 x64

Hello Eralp,

I am aware of the issue you are experiencing, I will do my best to resolve it. 

The issue is well-known, sometimes the program refuses to accept the upgrade licenses. The update will be available in the next released build of the program, the exact date of the release is unknown. Meanwhile, to resolve the issue please uninstall Acronis License Server and manually delete the following folder:

- Windows 2000/XP/2003 \Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Local Settings\Application Data\Acronis\License Server

- Windows Vista/2008/Windows 7 \ProgramData\Acronis\License Server\

Install Acronis License Server from the scratch and after that please use the full licenses of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 (I am sending them to you via PMs). I replaced the full licenses of Acronis True image Echo and the Upgrade licenses of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 with the full licenses of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10. 

Please do not hesitate to ask additional questions if the provided information is not clear or you need a further assistance. 

Thank you.

I spent all day trying to download and install this product. Two sessions of remote assistance useless. I can get as far as "preparing to install" then nothing. Seems I have wasted my money.
