Acronis True Image 2020 serial number does not work in Win10XPE?!

Hello all,

I own a legit copy of Acronis True Image 2020. I do not have it regularly installed in my windows because I consider it a resource hog, but I want to use it for my Win10XPE. Thankfully, there is a ready-to-use plugin for True Image 2020 on Win10XPE, and it has a field for the serial number, so I entered my serial number there. Compilation of Win10XPE finished without displaying any errors, but when I boot it up, the True Image plugin comes up as Trial Version and refuses to do certain things because of that. In other words, the serial number does not seem to have been properly accepted. Is there any way to debug this and find out why? What can I do?

In fact there are two serial numbers that I know of: The short one looks like XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX and is included in my True Image 2020 product box. Once I registered it online (I installed the product once for testing purposes), I got a longer serial displayed that looked like XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX. The first two blocks were identical; the remainder appears to have been generated upon registration. Neither of the two worked in Win10XPE tho; with both the app displayed as "Trial Version".

Since I do not have True Image regularly installed in my windows, I cannot use the button that pulls the serial key from the registry, but I figure that should not be necessary anyway, since I know the key and can enter it. I would just appreciate it working afterwards.

Thank you in advance,

Jens

You just stated two reasons why it is not working..

The needed "Serial Number" is pulled from the registry - Not the Activation Key Acronis sold you..
Install ATI and pull the serial number from registry - then uninstall if you wish

Thank you. Can you tell me under which key I can find the serial number in the registry?

Hi

the key is shown just above the input window on the plugin

x64
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Acronis\TrueImage]
"standard"=""

X86
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Acronis\TrueImage]
"standard"=""

Edit...
Sorry for all the edits - this website does not act properly for me when using Firefox..
It removes spaces, removes line breaks, and only show first block of code options
So I have to jump back into IE Browser to fix...

Someone here pointed me towards a tool that can convert the key into the registry values. I thought it was here in this thread, but apparently I was mistaken. Either way it worked nicely, thank you.

... a tool that can convert the key into the registry values.

Find in project Utils > RegCPE or RegCPE2,

it is a reg to script conversion tool.

 

Hi Nicky

it is a reg to script conversion tool

I don't think that's the tool DeathAndPain is referring to, I think it's the 'JFX/ChrisR ATI serial converter to reg key' tool, but I maybe incorrect
