The registration instructions say, "Run the program, Key icon and enter the provided key." I see the provided key in Readme.txt, and I've installed the program. I am at the Disk Clone screen to run the program, but I do not see any place to enter the provided key. How do I get the program registered?

If you have installed a previous version, this install will inform you that it needs to be uninstalled first, then will offer to do the uninstall for you. After the uninstall step, you are informed that to complete the uninstall, that you need to Reboot, and offers that choice, ... except you are in the middle of an automated install of the latest version, so you likely will choose not to reboot. If so, the new install starts, and will inform you that the "install to" folder already exists (same as the last version). Likely, you will choose to continue. After the install, you could get a message "Failed to open partition or disk." Click OK, and the program will then start with a display to choose a source (on the left) and where the disk should be cloned to (on the right). Click the source side, and you hope to see your list of drives, but you might see a display with "Select a choice" but no choices displayed. If so, now you should do that reboot. After the reboot, this step should show your drives.

Alternatively, you can uninstall any older versions before starting to install this version. Of course, you should do the reboot if prompted.

A lot of software will allow you to bypass the reboot and work just fine. I usually choose to not do the reboot because I may be in the middle of doing other things. Sometimes, you have to do it sooner or later. Looks like Do Your Clone requires it for some, and maybe all.

By the way, the price on GOTD for version 2.8 was $25. Notice this version shows $59 as the regular price. Online at the developer's website, the $59 gets you a lifetime license. They also have some holiday specials.

In past offerings, there have been some critical comments regarding getting this program to work, and several others that had no problems. I have installed each one successfully without any major issue. Each one could do the clone just fine.

I am not connected to the company in any way, and in fact, I prefer using my hardware duplicator over using any software duplicators, but this program does do what it claims. As others have mentioned, I agree it would be nice to see whether the program is still activated in the About dialog. It would reduce the number of people asking how do they find the key symbol. Oh well, not the end of the world. Good Tidings.

After installing the app, you will find a key icon on the bottom left side.
When clicking on it, you can paste the key, which came in the "readme.txt"

Installed okay on a Win 10 64-bit laptop. Could've used this to clone a dying USB drive to its USB replacement and on a hard drive to SSD swap. The latter came with a free ghost program download though as I suspect most do.

DoYourClone & similar software, e.g., disk / partition backup apps, copy the raw data, the stored 1s & 0s without worrying about individual files & folders etc. It's both faster & more reliable than copying those files and folders as files & folders. Cloning a drive or partition is the same as restoring an image backup, just skipping the step of 1st storing the data in an archive [usually in a VHD (Virtual Hard Disk)]. Because it doesn't use an archive, but copies the raw data from one storage device to another, both storage devices, e.g., hard disk & SSD, need to be connected to the PC or laptop at the same time. This can be done using a USB drive dock or inexpensive adapter.

When you turn a PC or laptop on [from a cold off, not sleep or hibernation], the BIOS looks for attached storage devices [USB sticks, hard disks, SSDs], & it looks for OS [Operating System] boot files so it can start the OS. It's relatively simple if there's only one hard disk or SSD, but when there are more than one, there's a setting in the BIOS that tells it which disk to look at 1st for the boot files. If you clone the system disk & have both the new disk [e.g., as SSD] & the original [e.g., the original conventional hard disk] attached, then you must tell the BIOS which disk or drive to look at 1st. In Windows you'll also need to go into Control Panel -> Admin. Tools -> Computer Mgmt. -> Disk Mgmt. to set a new ID for the original disk. An Important Note: Windows boot files & menu can be pretty complex & the tools to work with them underwhelming. After cloning a system disk/SSD to an NVMe drive you may well find it will not start [boot] Windows, because additional needed BCD entries are missing. Repair utilities on the bootable USB sticks for some backup software, e.g. Paragon HDM or Macrium Reflect, *may* help. When Windows won't boot on a new drive you *may* also be able to install a new copy of the same version of Windows to the new drive, then clone the Windows system partition only to the new drive [personally I've not had a 100% success rate doing this].

You can use DoYourClone & similar without needing a bootable USB stick, e.g., cloning a drive with both attached while running Windows. If you'll need that USB stick however, Do Test it 1st, since Very Many of the USB sticks you create with these apps will not work -- your mileage will vary. [I won't be able to check out DoYourClone till later today].

Is the clone bootable?

Is there a way to clone from my SSD to a Cloud Drive?

If you have installed old versions on your Mac, you don't need to activate it again. Just download and install the 2.9 version on your computer, then it will be activated automatically.
