Macrium X image failed - licence problem

It did not work while I was still using 23H2.
I have not had to try the workaround on 24H2. Yet. As surprised you folks. I honestly forgot about it until I saw this post yesterday.
I am still using SATA SSDs.

Well, a bit more testing and I have proven myself incorrect.
I have an old linksys dongle for wifi on this pc as well as an ethernet port. Occasionally I still use it just to see if it works. The license error did occur when I switched over to wifi. So, I ran the fix for the first time on this install of 24H2. Does seem to have worked.
I rebooted. No license error after first reboot while still on ethernet. I then disabled ethernet and verified the wifi connection. MRX started with no license error. Then re-enabled ethernet and verified connection. MRX still did not have license error. I am assuming the fix is working. If I create conditions where the error occurs again I will make a note here. I know you folks do not really need my input. :cool:

I don't have wifi enabled here (the device is installed with latest drivers but disabled in Device manager), the ethernet port is my primary MAC address.
I think the registry fix is telling the licence check to use the MAC address used during initial install/activation.

Ethernet enabled/wifi disabled - licence ok
Ethernet enabled/wifi enabled - licence ok
Ethernet disabled/wifi enabled - licence ok
Ethernet and wifi disabled - licence ok

I have a question related to this:

With Reflect 8.1, there were several instances where I forgot to deactivate my license before I performed a clean install of Windows so I would then no longer be able to use the same license key on the system. I had to ask Macrium to reset it.

When you say "Just went online to macrium account and fixed it" does this mean that there is some way to correct licensing issues online now or am I misunderstanding this?

Yes. To be honest I have forgotten how I did it. I think I removed the key in the app, then added back in through the web. That wouldn't be much help in the situation you were in because yiou did not have access t o the app to remove the license.

Ahh, yes. That makes sense.

I wish that they would implement their licensing in a more "friendly" manner. I absolutely LOVE how Microsoft does it with things like Microsoft 365 or even Windows or TechSmith with their SnagIt and Camtasia products and others.

It always irks me when the licensing is made difficult for legitimate licensed users. As much as I love Reflect, this one aspect is handled far worse by Reflect than any other product that I own. Granted, it is a rare occurrence that I have to beg Macrium to reset a license for me, but I think it has happend 3 times over the past few years.

Ironically, if I were really desperate to resolve that issue immediately without waiting on Macrium, I guess that I could have restored my previous Windows installation and then removed the license.

Me too. I have software where you can deactivate licenses from your online account. That seems the best

Macrium apparently associate the network MAC address you used when registering the license, then each time you invoke the app they check it, Don't understand why that affected me. Maybe it is a bug. I am confident they will fix this soon.

I've not had that problem, in v8 or vX. I flirted with it though for nearly three months back in 2021....

When I got a supported device as my new System One to replace my old 'main machine' ahead of the release of Windows 11, the first thing I did was to restore the Windows 10 system image of my old unsupported device and upgrade it to the Insider 22000.51 W11 build as a test. I ended up with two identical machines, both with an (apparently) licensed copy of Reflect - but both sharing the same licence key. I didn't dare unregister either of them for fear of disabling the key permanently.

When 11 was due to be released I wiped this test install and made sure that I removed the licence key from the old machine before making the final transfer image.....

Normally when I have to do an update which could go either way, I remove the v8.1 licence and uninstall Reflect, but not the logs and settings, and reinstall when update is finished. This is to protect the licence. Thinking about 23H2 to 24H2, is it enough just to remove the license or should I uninstall Reflect as well when prompted? Thanks Mitch.

I have just let Windows Update do the 23H2 to 24H2 update, without doing anything at all about Reflect or its licence. About the only preparation was to make a backup before starting the process. The Reflect v8 and its licence survived the update intact and fully working.

I've never had any licensing issues with Reflect 8, but it seems there are a few having problems with Reflect X.
I guess they'll sort it out eventually.

I had a potential problem in updating our old W10 pc to W11 - windows update didn't work and I thought I might need to clean install. That made me think that I should have removed Reflect and it's licence beforehand as a precaution. As it happened Upgrade Assistant did the job but since then I've been wary of the Reflect licence. Thanks Mitch.

A bit more info. After more reboots and switching back and forth between wifi and ethernet, and with a little sprinkling of vpn use there have been no more license issues. I will say their latest "fix" works. That is all. Have a good day (or night) everyone.
@Bree btw, discovering your previous license problem helped lead me in the correct direction.

Yes I've not had more issues yet. We'll only know it's not working when it stops working!
I do believe the registry fix 'locks' the licence to the first-used MAC address during install.
Still doesn't explain why it changes though. I don't use wi-fi or VPN.
