This seems to be the Standard perpetual version, not the Advanced yearly sub, as the listing says "One-time purchase" which is what Acronis puts under the Standard heading. While the MSRP on the page is $49.99, which is what the Advanced lists for on the Acronis site (Standard lists for $59.99), the Model # listed is TIH3B2ENS, which B&H Photo lists as the Perpetual, so I'm leaning that way.

This seems to be 1 year subscription.. From New Egg reviews. Hard pass if that is the case.

Cloning a drive is a simple affair. Its why most of them without graphical interface is only 1 or 2 meg long. Decades ago I was able to write assembly program to read a system file then encrypted and put it in another blocks of the disk hidden from win95 OS within the hour just to prove to the classmates that win95 was not as secure as MS said.
But with only 14 reviews the samples pool is not to be trusted anyway.
I have avoided Acronis because of its overly complicated installation -- too much impact on Windows & too much that could go wrong. Looking at the features of their 2020 version there's a couple of things that I thought might be useful, so I monitored the installation of their trial in a win7 32-bit VM. Well, they managed to make the installation worse. As tuan2 noted, disk/partition image &/or cloning software has no need to be all that complicated. I don't think if Acronis 2020 was coded properly it would need to store a nearly 1 GB .msi file in Windows\ Installer. Beyond that it adds thousands of new registry entries and installs Bonjour, which I'd rather avoid.
Also just FWIW...
There are lots of disk/partition image backup apps out there, & every one I've tested works -- again it's not that hard to write these apps using Windows VSS. Where most have problems is with the bootable USB sticks they create -- Microsoft acknowledges problems booting WinPE nowadays. Macrium is considered the best in that regard. The other big problem is people using external USB drives to store backup archives -- whether from lack of active cooling or cheap/poor quality electronics they often fail during sustained max speed file transfer, e.g. restoring a backup. If you expect to rely on something in case of disaster, test it to make sure it works!
So if the copies I ordered end up being Advanced, I'll just tell them I'm going to file a claim with my CC and that I won't buy from them again. Then they can either ship me Standard or eat the charges.

Model: TIH3B2ENS-ESD seems to be the 1 year sub script?

The only reason I went for Acronis this time was because I need Universal Restore to move between disparate systems, and all the "free" software requires their paid versions to do so, at $40 or so. Otherwise, I'd have used Macrium.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, some of the better SSDs come with cloning software.

Info has to be added to the Windows BCD boot files for the boot loader to see an NVMe drive. The Macrium paid version or Paragon Hard Disk Mgr. Advanced can create a bootable USB stick that includes migration & boot repair tools that will work, & Samsung provides a tool if you buy one of their NVMe drives. Paragon's cheaper, but the gotcha is that it likes to modify the boot files when you restore a backup or perform a clone. When I migrated from a conventional HDD to an NVME I used Macrium Reflect Free to move the files, & the Paragon bootable USB stick to get it working.
