    Creators upgrade disables Macrium Reflect


    I did the early upgrade to the Creators version, V1703, OS Build 15063.13.
    I now cannot run my registered (paid version) of Macrium Reflect V6. I get a message that my license key cannot be used as its already used. However, the Macricum procedure to deactivate a key is done within Macrium Reflect program (which can't be started). I have a request into Macrium support about this, but a warning that this may be an issue with others.

    Here is the message I get when I try to run Macrium Reflect.

    Win 10 upgrade help: "macrium reflect" "uninstall this app now because it isn't compatible with Windows 10"

    Thanks. I'll try the Media Creation / Upgrade Now path ... should work.

    I'd rather stay with an out of date Windows than do a Clean install ... life is too short.

    Always disappointing to note that there are multiple paths to get the job done and some of them are buggy. Why not just have one and make sure it works? Or would that put too many Tech Support folks out of work? Hey - not trying to be nasty, I did software
    creation and support for OS and for Apps with a major multinational for 36 years and that's enough to expect better.

    Win 10 upgrade help: "macrium reflect" "uninstall this app now because it isn't compatible with Windows 10"

    Installing a Win 10 update. Currently at 1511 build 10586.1176.

    Download and install goes smoothly until it trips over an app called Macrium Reflect and it wants me to uninstall this app now because it isn't compatible with Windows 10.

    That's well and good and makes sense BUT

    I don't have that app installed, in fact I never heard of it before now.

    All the PC Settings and Control Panel lists of apps don't show it and a scan of the hard drive has no hits for Macrium and only obvious other things for Reflect. I'd run an uninstall if I could find one!

    I rebooted and retried but same error.

    I ran the Windows Update Troubleshooter and it fixed a few things but same error.

    I have scanned the Help community and don't see anything about others running into this.

    I have scanned the Macrium site and all it wants to do is sell me a Windows 10 version.

    Help!

    Does the app shut down when you click Next?

    Asking because I upgraded to v7, and since I run several OSs on this PC, I went to install it on each of them -- and got the same message on the second install. But I just clicked Next and the install continued OK.

    Also, I am running v6 on my Win10 Insider OS and it activated without any problems.

    Time to contact Macrium support to get them to reset the license. I've had to do this for MalwareBytes although in my case it is due to a clean install of the CrU.

    Did you try completely uninstalling MR, clean the registry entries, then reinstall your MR? if it works it should let you input your license key after you reinstall. MR is installed in more than just one folder got to check all of them. I use a free program call "Everything" to check myself. Your choice of course.
