towerbooks, I have a stardock sourced code and have downloaded from the stardock store, and have NOT got ANY version of boiled ice on most of my systems and can run it without any issues, you must have bought it from a NON-stardock location as they only offer ice keys and force the ice to download and stardock DOES not get as much of the purchase price as buying directly from stardock as BOTH(as far as I know(I do not)) ICE and the other location BOTH get a significant cut of the price (eg ice 30%& assume that the other locations also get a 30% cut leaving stardock with ONLY 40% of the price to do ALL the support and upgrading whereas the strdock purchased they get 100%- bank fees & charges(about 5-10% all up) do to the same.
