Cloning hard drive does not transfer license - indicating expired Norton 360 - not true

For backup protection I clone my hard drive and put it in the safe. For years there was no problem creating an exact backup. Now when I clone the cloned backup works as it should except a window comes up and says Norton 360 has expired and I need more licenses on the cloned drive. I went into my account which had one open license and used it for the backup and intend to put it in the safe. I was not thinking it would use the last license. The cloned drive is only used on the original PC.

Of course this backup took a seat so now I have Norton 360 in the original operating HD and it is
authenticated but the backup has to have another seat now and I think that is not what is intended. Certainly why did it change after all these years. Simply Norton 360 whatever is the days old version is not cloning properly. I should not have to use a seat for a backup and have never had to do this for the years I have been cloning a hard drive. At least five year and many monthly clones.

I would like to tell you what version of Norton but I cannot find the version number. Frustrating. Anyway it is the newest Norton 360 control panel. Windows 10, Aoemi Backupper M.2 to M.2

What has changed and how do I keep Norton and have a identical clone.

Thanks now I see it. I had to scroll over to about as it was hidden by the size of window I had set. Thanks, the fog of frustration.
