Here is the black friday, usually the best time to get Macrium licenses. But this year the sale is really disappointing. https://www.macrium.com/products/home
There is no discount on single license, and only 25% on the 4 machine license. Last year it was 50%. They also introduced a stupid subscription plan, which is discounted to hell to lure people in.
But subscriptions for offline backup is a huge no-no. I won't pay yearly ransom to use my own data on my own drives. It was one of the reasons why I ditched Acronis (and there were other reasons to be honest).
Looks like I have to start the endless search again for a good image backup software.
You can buy Macrium as a one-off still. The subscription gives you ongoing access to their support, which you only get for 6 months? if you buy the one-off. And it will give you the upgrade to eg Macrium 9 without needing a new license.
