trouble upgrading 2 many installs

[kip777]

Looking over invoices I see I purchased Acronis 2013 at the same time as the upgrade, I know that was because of alignment issues going from a HDD to an SSD so who knows when things became final. but I remember going back and forth between versions because the new version with 2 shows on same computer running simultaneously, if you hit play before 1 was totally done it would error the song. the old version it didn't matter.
Anyway to me drives are like underwear they should be changed once in a while. I would think a unique serial number that changes with upgrades tied to your registration would work or look at more than just a hard drive, like motherboard serial number. I don't have any problems with any other software by cloning drives.

Thanks,
Kip
