SDC did not get the update yet as far as I understood. Please check the last set of numbers on your version. If it is 163 then you still need to update. If you like I can send you a stand alone link that will still require activation.
@Seabass, It was on SDC, according to my first ticket reply referring to .165 (CYT-199472),
earlier than 02:38 PM (I guess it's in your timezone as I got the time from the ticket in esupport.stardock.com, but I can't say for sure).
In that ticket I've also pasted the full activate.exe commandlines which were issued by you for all 3 (IP,IPE, and shellext) places which demands activation (My firewall logs all executions).
If it is significant, the target file seems to be the exact same for all of them, but IPE and shellext doesn't have the same -appid parameter as IP.
Btw, don't try to merge my two active tickets as they're unrelated, but seems similar
due to an earlier failed merge.
