Roxio does not work on cloned computers

On cloned computers (again with ImageX) everything works but Roxio: it doesn't run, it says "certificate file missing or corrupt".
I cloned also the workstation on which I created the image, and there it works, so I guess Roxio, when installing, somehow links itself to the hardware.
Now I don't want to install Roxio on each single computer after cloning, since its setup takes a lot...
Anyone knows how to bypass this? Any file\regkey to delete?
thanks

This isn't a direct answer to your question, but how about setting one of your laptops manually, then cloning that machine? That might work if it's a hardware related issue?

sorry, I don't get the point. I set up one laptop with all I need inside (Roxio, too). Captured it. Then , with the resulting image, I cloned it (and Roxio works)and the other laptops (and Roxio does not work).
Of course I cannot create a master image on each single laptop!
But , I repeat, maybe I didn't understand what you mean...
thanks

My mistake... I misunderstood your original post. I got the impression that you had set up one machine, not a laptop, which when cloned to a similar machine, worked, not to itself.
So, nevermind... obviously you're doing what I was suggesting.

OK. Indeed I was not clear saying "links itself to the hardware": I meant that, when installing, Roxio somehow registers something which identifies exactly a piece of HW (CD burner I guess); so, when cloning, since the HW of the other computers is the same model, but of course not the same piece, it does not work.

did you try with another cloning tool, different than ImageX. such as ghost32 or Acronis True Image ?

no, we chose the Microsoft solution and for sure I cannot change this only because of Roxio. For test purposes I could do it, but not in the next times.

If these came pre-installed from HP then you should contact them, as it is their OEM version.

check the Volume Serial Number of Source Disk , using the VOL command
then using the microsoft Volume ID software, set the Volume Serial Number of Cloned disk as the source disk and retry to run Roxio 9.0.
it works
