As noted in the auto reply when you mail support, any replies put your ticket to the back of the queue.  This may have happened here.

If you could post your ticket id here it would be helpful in someone being able to go in and sort it for you quicker.

You should be aware that it is the weekend and so normal support are not in until Monday now, but if the ticket is posted someone may be able to go in manually and sort it before then.

Hitting the activation limit shouldn't be an urgent problem because you can simply click the trial button and then you have 30 days before you need to activate.

I would love to know why Stardock thinks it's a good idea to block paying customers from their own software? Frankly all of us could have just pirated this app and would have never had to deal with this problem.

I have an unusual one, and one that really p*sses me off, frankly. I simply restarted my computer after "windows encountered and error" for something else I was doing unrelated to Start8, and when I logged back in after the restart, it popped up with the registration screen for Start8. I put in my details with my activation code (which had been on this PC for many months) and it said "maximum reached". It's the same computer. It's the same config. It's on this computer only. And I've reached my max????!!! PLEASE. I've bought several things from Stardock. Please don't make me go elsewhere due to bad policies... I understand the idea of maximum activations. It makes sense to avoid people pirating and abusing. But when it's legit and you get fried by a policy, it is damaging to the credibility and integrity of that company. I registered with my email that is on my account. I suppose I shall put in a ticket, but as others have mentioned, that seems to be a rather cumbersome process to have to do when you are a legitimate, paying (and on-the-fence loyal) customer....

You have a responses to your cases.

Please note that replying to a support ticket before receiving a reply from technical support will reset the activity counter on the ticket. This will move your ticket to the end of our incoming work queue and delay our response. This is done to prevent abuse of our support system with multiple SPAM-like replies. Please reply in such a manner only if you have crucial information to add to the support case.

That said, I worked your ticket and reset your activations.
