Receive this error booting from live USB:

Incompatible license
Aborted. Press any key to exit.

Qubes image written to USB with:

dd if=Qubes-R3.2-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdb

USB drive is SanDisk 64GB USB formatted via GParted

Same error message when using another 8GB generic USB drive.

Any ideas what's going wrong?

Thanks.

Hmmm, what exactly did you do in GParted?

When writing the image to the entire block device (/dev/sdb), you will
also write the partition table from the image. If you modify the
partitions after this point, you might break the setup and not be able
to boot...

Also, what laptop vendor and model are you using?
