The installation should be activated using the account the key was gifted to, not yours.

If you are performing an installation on someone else's behalf (and corporate sales does not have any solutions suitable for you), you can create a new account for them using a one-off free webmail address, and provide them with the login details for it. If they already have an account with us, they could later have support combine it with their existing account if so desired.

If it is too hard to fix, give me a refund on my purchase and I will re-purchase using the email address that I created for the customer.

This is really messy having to create an email and Stardock account for a customer every time. There has to be an easier way.

The corporate page was useless for doing anything unless you are a charity organization.

Please let me know what details you need for my refund.

Thanks.

Activation will always require an account to be created, so either you have to create the account for them when you activate the software, or you install the software (which will make it prompt for activation on bootup), and provide your customer with the serial to use along with instructions (which is pretty simple, unlock button -> I only have a serial number->create account)

Unfortunately a serial has to be tied to an account or there would be nothing to stop multiple people using the same serial numbers.

If you wish to bulk purchase Start8 serials you can do so from Corporate sales and I am sure they would be happy to help if you e-mail them.

They don't have a great registration solution for corporate customers either. It still requires registration with an email address, password and serial number. I don't have any other software product in my company that requires this. It also makes it impossible to include Start8 in a software image.
