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 & Recovery 10 on a machine and want to resume its online
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 online backups.
Reassigning a subscription does not restart its subscription period.

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.
