Easeus issues Todo Backup -update

I have 2 computers with Easeus todo backup. (2 Lifetime licenses)
I went to run some backups, and surprise, it asked me to update to the later version.
it blocked me saying my licenses are invalid, while running the 2025 update to the 2026 version. I went through this in the past, and they do it again and again... pizzzes me off. I have to go through this again asking them to fix it.

Update, sort of, so I ran this through M.S. Copilot. That says lots of people are having problems with EASEUS forcing updating and invalidating the licenses. I guess I am not the only one. It helped me write a draft to send them for the licenses problems.

still no answer from support..
I have more of their products... like Partition software too.

They sent my a verification the enabled my serials number with the newest version of Todo backup for both computers. So, it is al good now... but they should not have disabled it in the first place for their forced upgrade.

@retiredat44 ,

Easeus closed their Forums years ago, which was too bad. What I have found, as have my clients, is that Easeus Todo Backup Home (ETBH) has a rather cumbersome and unintuitive version update process. I have two licenses as well, and have had them for a very long time.

In the last few years, every time you update your ETBH, the new version opens in 30-day Trial mode. What you have to do is press the Activate button. When you do so, your valid licence should show automatically in the license field. Click the "Activate Now" button, and ETBH should indicate success and your product is one again out of trial mode.

I have had countless ETBH customers complain to me as their computer consultant about this, usually after their "false" trial period expires.

I have stopped recommending ETBH. I have discovered the Hasleo Backup Suite (free and paid - I have paid Pro version), which I test against ETBH and a paid version of Macrium Reflect 8 (MR8), alternating between them for my weekly system images for both of my computers. I post the results every three weeks in a dedicated topic in the Hasleo Forums.

The bottom line: HBS free and paid far outperforms ETBH, in speed and smaller image size. HBS is also marginally better than MR8 (I would not purchase an MRX subscription as I dislike the subscription model for imaging software), so I cannot comment on how well HBS would compare against MRX.

DISCLOSURE: I am a Moderator at the Hasleo Forum, but my testing is completely impartial and independent, and I receive no considerations from Hasleo for being a Forum Member or a Moderator.

If you are unhappy with ETBH, I suggest giving HBS a look.

Have a great day.

yes, but the licenses were dectivated.... but there in grey. I had to conTACT them and they re-activated those licenses... I had this happen a few years ago... but they do this it seems every few years... I haven't looked at the other Easuse products I own. I need to check to see if they are still running good. I have the paid version of their partition software too. I like their products, but really dread the activation issues. In the old days, if you dared, in some of the apps you would use black ice and grab the serial numbers out of the code (not legal).

@retiredat44 ,

That has not happened to me in the last few years, my licenses being deactivated or to any of my computer clients.

Yes, I have Easeus Partition Master too. I have not had any licensing issues with my lifetime, free upgrades, license. It is an excellent program, better in my opinion that their Backup program.

Just my two cents. Have a great day.

As I suspected they did the same thing with my Partition magic pro lifetime with upgrades! Activation key no longer works!! dirty dirty dirty! Sent then an email again for another one of their products! this should be illegal!
