Clone ST-LINK V2 doesn't connect to STM32CubeProgrammer, where do I find a genuine one?

[jacoscar]

I'm trying to follow this guide

https://github.com/jagheterfredrik/meb-preheat

I've never used STM32CubeProgrammer or a ST-Link V2 so I don't know what it should look like. I've bought the one at this link https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33010611392.html

When I open  STM32CubeProgrammer  and click "connect" nothing happens, apart from the message in the log window

The serial number is shown as "E"

Do I need to do something to make this device work? Or where can I buy one that works out of the box?
