Absolutely not. The licence to run Reflect is perpetual, you can run any version of Reflect v8 and will receive all future updates.

What is expiring is your support line from Macrium, you won't be able to get one-to-one email support. You will still be able to post in the Macrium Forum though, so you're not entirely unsupported.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October.

TBH - it is rare most queries cannot be answered either on this forum, or on the Macrium Reflect Forum.

If you identify a serious issue, they sometimes ask members to raise a ticket even if out of support.

I rarely use the official support, even in the 1st year, and have never felt the need to extend the support.
