2012 true image clone disk doesnt work completly

Thread needs solution

when cloning hard drive I have to re-register my quickbooks 2007 everytime. I bought this software thinking it would work, since acronis for western digital had same issue. when I had all seagate hard drives I used the old ver of disk wizzard and it worked fine. Is there a fix for this?

Ted,

I don't know, but I think the problem is that Intuit programs use the disk serial number as part of their registration check, a different drive will have a different disk signature, cloning doesn't change the disk serial number. The DiskWizard versions of TIH have been twiddled by Seagate and Western Digital so they might do something slightly differently to the main TIH product, they are also based on TIH 2009 to my knowledge.

If you make a complete disk image and then recover that to a different drive do you get the same problem?

What have Intuit said about the problem?

Not sure about a disk image, I have three hd that I clone as a backup solution. I havent contacted Acronis I thought I would try this forum first. if there is no fix I would have been better off just using Acronis for wd and saved my money for true image. thanks
