3 Upgrading from trial to full product version

The trial key required at installation can be obtained on the Acronis Web site.

The Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 trial version has the following limitations for bootable media:

 The disk management functionality is available, but there is no option to commit the changes.

 Besides disk management, only the recovery functionality is available.

To upgrade from the trial version to the standard product you do not need to re-download the

software. When the trial period is over, the product GUI displays a notification requesting you to

specify a standard license key.

To specify the standard license key, use the Change License window in the management console, or

run the setup program and follow its instructions.
