Windows 7 Thinks It Is Counterfeit?
This may not be an Acronis issue, but the only two machines this has popped up on is from the Engineering department where I used Acronis Backup and Restore 10 to deploy a Windows 7 64 bit image. After I imaged the machines I ran sysprep and then reactivated Windows, but now I have two machines that have booted up and told the user their copy of Windows may be counterfeit. This copy of Windows 7 64 bit is from a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement and volume licensed. Has anybody else seen this and if you have can this be tied to a Windows 7 or Acronis issue?

I don't think this is due to Acronis, though it is possible it exacerbates whatever cause it.
I had this problem when I uninstalled the Eset firewall (at the time I had ABR10 and TI 2010 installed on the machine) and later on VMWare. A couple of reboots later and Windows has behaved ever since.
Which makes it seem likely to me, it is one of the virtual network adapters causing the problem possibly in tandem with the Acronis Archive Backup Explorer device.
