More information

Installation over an existing version will not ask for a serial number.

After updating, it is also recommended to recreate Acronis Bootable Media to have better hardware support.
(!) Acronis does not guarantee that images (backup archives) created with a newer build of the product will be supported by older builds. This means that restoring an image created with Acronis True Image Build 8163 may fail with Acronis True Image Build 8076.
