We now know the trade in offers that will be available to those with older V8, v7, and v6 one-time licences, and for recently purchased perpetual v8 licences.

Macrium said:
I purchased a one-time license
If you purchased on or after July 1st, 2024, you have three options;
  • Continue using Reflect 8 for as long as you want. You will continue to have access to 12 months technical support from the date you bought the licenses.
  • Trade in (your existing license will be deactivated after your new license is activated) your one-time license (which has one year of support from the date of purchase) and receive a 3-year Annual Plan at no extra cost. Macrium may make loyalty offers available at the end of your 3-year term. However, even without a license, Reflect always allows you to restore/recover your data (you won’t be able to make new backups). We’ve also made your backup files open-source - it’s your data and you own it.
  • NEW: Trade in (your existing license will be deactivated after your new license is activated) your one-time license (which has one year support from the date of purchase) and receive 50% off the normal annual plan price for life (must turn on auto-renew and not allow the license to expire/lapse).
Home users have 6 months from the launch of Reflect X to decide which option suits them best. Step-by-step instructions to obtain either option from the grace period will be published this week.

For Reflect Home users who purchased V8 before July 1, 2024:
You are eligible for two options. The first option is 50% off Annual plans for life. Option 2 is our “Better than Black Friday 2024 Offer:” 3 years for the price of 2:

If you choose 50% off annual plans for life, you will have to trade in your current Reflect Home V8 license.

If you choose 3 years for the price of 2, you can keep your Reflect Home V8 license. This amount must be paid up front and at the end of the plan, customers may renew based on offers available at the time (or return to your one-time license.)

For Home V6 & V7: We are offering 3 years for the price of two. This amount must be paid up front and at the end of the plan, customers may renew based on offers available at the time (or return to your one-time license.)This offer ends March 31st 2025.

You don't need to, Macrium record the time taken at the end of the log....

My machines are all laptops. I only have them up and running when I want to use one, so scheduling is not practical.

I back them all up manually once a month after their Patch Tuesday updates. That starts at 6.00pm UK time, and I can have up to 8 machines to update. My routine is to patch each one, clean up afterwards, then start their imaging.

It can be a long evening's work, hence my obsession with backup speed ;)

Both my computers are laptops and there's no way I schedule backups and leave a backup drive permanently connected. I make a Macrium Reflect X image every night before shutting down. I have a fast laptop, and I want to make a fast image. I love being able to make a 211 GB image in 3 minutes and 30 seconds! Thus, I too have an obsession with backup speed! :wink:

Macrium Reflect X Home review: Fantastic backup, capricious pricing | PCWorld
By Jon Jacobi | June 17, 2025

www.pcworld.com

I'm wowed by Macrium Reflect X's backup chops, but not its pricing

While we love Macrium Reflect X's speed, interface, and reliability, its new subscription-only pricing is very expensive over time.

In the end, that article tells us nothing really. As to whether it is value, that really depends on an individual's perspective/situation.
