Hardware changed (it hasnt!) - please re-activate Acronis True Image...

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I've had this ongoing issue with Acronis True Image Home Edition - it keeps asking me to activate it saying that hardware has changed when it hasnt at all. It does activate OK then after a few days or weeks the same message pops up again.

Its getting a bit frustrating - any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks
Sean.

This seems to happen to me whenever a crash or abnormal shutdown occurs and possibly in a few other situations even though the hardware on my machine hasn't changed in severl years. It's an annoyance of the activation scheme but so far it hasn't appeared to be in any way harmful, except to one's nerves. Remember, activation is there to serve the vendor; it does nothing for the user. Otoh, it's relatively harmless, even when it doesn't work correctly. Just keep clicking Activate Now as necessary and not worry about it. At least the OS doesn't do this every time I reboot; the OS has alimited number of on-line activations, then you have to phone in -- now that's a pain.
