Vista Product Activation after system restore

[jelenko]

Vista is asking me to reactivate after a full system restore to exactly the same hardware - i.e., it's the same pc, no changes.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Just to confirm, I had activated Vista and made the system backup a couple weeks before doing the restore.

Thanks

Hi

I have the same Problem, but only if i copy my activated Vista with Disk Director 10 (Build 2161) to an other HDD. After booting with the copied Partition, Vista ask me to activate again.
Acronis Support knows about the problem and hopefully i will receive a solution within the next days.

I have used True Image since version 8. I have since upgraded to version 10. When using on my old computer (Windows XP) I never had any problems booting up on the CD, or with version 10, using F11 to boot up to the secure zone and do a restore. The only quirk I've found, is that using version 10 on a Vista machine with a RAID0 disk array, I no longer get the message to hit F11 to boot into Acronis. I still have to use the CD, but then, if I want, I can use the secure zone files. This has been a lifesaver due to all the pecularities of Vista. I turn system restore off and save disk space, then use Acronis to restore if necessary. Another quirk I've found with the True Image software is that if you try to save your images to a DVD-R disk, it thinks the drive is a CD, rather than a DVD drive. I can overcome the problem by imaging to an external hard drive, then making the disks. I've also been very disappointed with the Acronis tech support. It takes forever for them to get back to complaints, and then when they finally do, if they don't have a solution, they tell you to check out the FAQ's., pretty lame.
