True Image cannot find the proper serial number please reinstall

I bought (big mistake) a copy of True Image Ver 9.2337 after pasting in Serial number and completing install I get a "True Image cannot find the proper serial number please reinstall" I have been trying to get support from True image with dismal results. Cut & paste serial number, complete reinstall, deleting other software, nothing resolves the problem. Now customer support is not even responding to my emails. I am going to contact my VISA Card Company and stop payment but still does not help me resolve this problem. If I can get the software to work I would be happy to pay.
"Try before buy" is good advice.

 

You think 48 hours is not long enough Don't aggravate the problem provide a solution!!!

 

There have been several posts with problems about the serial number. While you are waiting, maybe a search will provide the solution to your situation.

 

This issue was dealt with in this previous Acronis Support post and the procedure therein seems to work in most cases.

 

UNABLE TO DELETE CORRUPTED FILES CREATED BY TRUE IMAGE RESTORE

Is it really necessary to edit the registry to get TI to acccept the software serial number? Or should this be part of the install utility that comes with the program?

Secondly if you do a full image backup but select only a file or directory from that image then you end up with corrupted files on your main drive can you tell me how to remove these files? They are recognized bt the explorer but I am unable to delete outside or inside Windows XP.

 

Re: UNABLE TO DELETE CORRUPTED FILES CREATED BY TRUE IMAGE RESTORE

Take ownership of the files in xp and you will be able to delete them. Safemode if need be.

 

In your case, yes, that would seem to be the case. A few people have reported the problem, hence the link to the previous post, but for most people, TI accepts their serial without any issues.
