The hardware ID has changed - activate now.

Thread needs solution

Almost every time I open TI 2014 I get the message "The hardware ID has changed. Change Serial number. Activate now". I click Activate now and am told that activation has completed successfully. Until next time.

I tried running a repair but it didn't make any difference.

Deactivate that installation, after which you'll be able to re-enter the serial number to re-activate it.

My Dell Inspiron 15 Windows 8.1 just began experiencing the same "hardware ID has changes". My problem is when trying to open Acronis True Image 14 which i purchased a Premium 3 PC family back in May 2014, it freezes with the 'please wait...loading' window pane open. Of course I have to then open Task Manager and end task. I reinstalled product > restarted computer > started program and still program froze.
