One more ... Activation limit reached.

August 31, 2013 10:23:52 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Cheers,

 

I ran into the "maximum activation" trap yesterday, opened a ticket already (YMC-581-13053) but havent heard anything.


Any chance to speed this up a lil´ bit? I roughly miss that tool to get my system running again ...


Thx,


Jens

This sucks. I only reinstall my windows 8 (which also sucks) about once per two months, then the max activiation limit reached.

I would rather use classic shell, which is less beautiful yet free. I paid 5 bucks for a software which has such a stupid limitation.

Never a stardock product for me. I hope those who see this message from Google or from this forum won't get trapped too.

That is the way it goes with this software. It is not enthusiast (people who re-install OS often) friendly.

 

Stardock won't change their method. All they need to do is what microsoft does - take some hardware measurements so that they know re-installs are to the same machine.

 

I'm out way more money than you. What is worse, I complained through my credit card but my claim was denied. Stardock told me essentially to talk to the hand. What a racket.

You have both been reset. You can now re-activate.

I'm not seeing any prior support tickets for you under the email address your products are registered to. If you are having issues with the software, please send us an email at support@stardock.com so we can work with you.
