Invalid key for 8.0

I bought the boxed version of True Image (windows) 8.0 last weekend but the license key on the CD case didn't allow me to install the software.
When I went to the website I registered using the license key to check that it was valid and the Acronis website says the key is for version 6.0?

I've emailed support twice and haven't gotten any response. Does anyone know how I can get the license key verified so I can install the software?

Is this a known issue with a "bad batch" of boxed versions being printed up with the wrong keys

Any help would be appreciated.

Can you take it back and exchange it for a different box?

Sjothun,

Had the exact problem with a recent retail purchase of TI8. Appears that the moderator has becide that my post on this same problem yesterday should be pulled from this site. Nothing bad -- just stating the facts and asking for help. They only reacted after I posted on this site!!

The "solution" provided to me was to download V6 and install it using the key provided with the V8 package. Then download the latest build for V8 and "upgrade" to it using a key that was provided by support. What a convoluted mess!

The original response from "support" was to go back to the retailer and exchange the software -- yea, the retailer doesn't have any problem with returning opened software (come-on).

Mine works, best of luck to you.

 

I'm sorry, I misspoke about my post being removed. It's still here under "Customer Service Problem -- Registration no good!"

 

I also can't register my copy of 8.0. I sent a request to support 2 days ago but haven't gotten a reply other than the standard "we got your message and we'll get back to you".

Von

 

Hello Von Peery,

Please let me know your Acronis request # which was sent to you in autoreply to your letter to Acronis Support Team. I will find the reason for the delay with the response.

Thank you.
