5.2 Reassigning an activated subscription

Sometimes you may want to use an already activated subscription instead of an available
subscription. In these cases, for example:



You no longer need to back up one of your machines and you want to reuse that machine’s
subscription for another machine.



You reinstalled Acronis Backup on a machine and want to resume its cloud backups.



You recovered a machine to bare metal (or to a state when it did not yet have an activated
subscription) and want to resume its cloud backups.

Reassigning a subscription does not restart its subscription period.

To assign an activated subscription to a machine

1. On the machine to which you want to assign an activated subscription, go to the subscription

activation window.

2. Click Reassign an already used subscription.
3. Select the machine whose subscription you want to reassign to the current machine.
4. Click Reassign now.

Example

The diagram below shows what happens if you reassign a subscription to a different machine. Let's
assume Machine 1 has four backups in Subscription 1. Machine 2 has two backups in Subscription 2.
At that point, you reassign Subscription 1 to Machine 2. Machine 2 does its third backup to
Subscription 1.
