Rupp,
I think that gives you 2 years to download your order?!?!?
Otherwise I think you have to download within 30 days.
I didn't pay the extra 5.99! I wanted to download it NOW!
(All of the above may be wrong, just the way I interpreted their explanation)

Maybe e can answer that. I burned two copies to cd's. Haven't installed yet.
Did notice on the screen while I was downloading a 25 digit software key was listed, so I copied it down also.
Their confirmation email didn't mention the key, just the order #
The key may be necessary when I install it, not sure yet.

1. I've been using this program for over 6 months and it's great!
2. I don't think the extended download service is worth it. This is how it works: The "retail" version of the software is only downloadable from Acronis' online distributor, which is who is selling you the extended download service, updates, however, are available indefinitely from Acronis. So, if you download the retail version after purchasing it, you can burn it to a CD and put it in a safe place. Then, as long as you have that installed on a machine, you can update it via the update downloads from Acronis. Other online software retailers use a similar scheme to tr to get your $$ (I think Symantec does it too). Much better to use a $0.50 CD than to spend more money to be able to download it in 6 months.
3. It's one license per machine, and as JohnBullard said, you do need that key included on the download screen. I think you'll find it also in the email, but it's written in extra tiny font.

thanks John for the info from a current user.
I went back and looked at the email confirmation, and yep, the key is there, ...and I can almost read it if I tilt my head just right so the correct lens of my trifocals will focus in :lol:
