Recovery usb asks for license in restore mode

Post by pb1 »

Hi

I install IFW and enter my credentials during the install process before letting it restart the pc. Afterwards i create WinRE usb boot media, rescue media. Boot into it to test it. And there i get a prompt asking for my credentials, again, instead of "just functioning" as it usually does, i fill them in. Close the program and restart the pc into the usb again to see if all is working ok now without a prompt. But it asks again for credentials. This goes on and on and... .

This is unusual behaviour according to experience. So why does this happen and how do i get rid of the prompt?

you're probably not entering the correct name/key pair for the correct product or product version. You can contact support or log in to the download portal to check.

Since it accepts the credentials and activates the program when installing, that can not be possible. Besides, i know for sure it is the right product.

it doesn't validate anything during install, you have to run the program itself to determine if it was correct.
