How many accounts per PC?
A backup account is specific to the PC it is run on; therefore, an account may not be shared across PCs. If you have more than one PC with data that you wish to backup then you must register for the backup service for each PC.

How to register and activate a new account?
When you complete the registration process, you will be presented with an account number and registration code, and you will be given the option to print this information. We urge you to do so as you will need the registration code to activate your account on your PC.

Once you download the software installation program, you must install the software. You will need the reservations code to complete the install process. The reservation code is for one time use only and will not work if you run the installation program on another PC. Each PC requires its own backup account, and therefore its own account number and reservation code.
