1) download True Image 2016:
http://dl.acronis.com/s/AcronisTrueImage2016.exe

2) disconnect internet!

3) install True Image, close installer (don't start True Image!)

4) wait about 20 seconds while background tasks still work

5) run ActivatorAcronisTI(H).exe
   if you read "activation successful!" everything is ok

6) reconnect internet and have fun...


if you need the manual:
http://dl2.acronis.com/u/pdf/ATI2016_userguide_en-US.pdf

Media Add-on (for PE boot cd -> read the manual):
http://dl.acronis.com/s/AcronisTrueImage2016_addons.exe
since version 19.0.0.6559 it is already included in main setup!


if you need the regular boot cd only:
http://dl.acronis.com/u/AcronisTrueImage2016.iso

here you find the new, promised to be always current
dl2.acronis.com/s/AcronisUniversalRestore.iso
use it after restoring on dissimilar hardware

(create an usb-stick with EASY2BOOT or YUMI)



annoying popup "You don't have a license for Acronis True Image!":
close all programs, set date one year in advance
close upcoming popup, correct date


If True Image is asking for activation after 30 days:
click "OFFLINE ACTIVATION" and type any activation code, e.g. 1234
(the patched "libcrypto10.dll" accepts all)


If you experience problems: (Hardware ID has changed) run setup.exe again and "repair"
Then run Activator again

If that doesn't help: uninstall, reboot, then run the Acronis cleaner
(option 2) before reinstalling:
