Can't activate ObjectDock Plus

from Stardock Forums

I recently purchased the Plus! version of ObjectDock, and it looks like I can't activate it. I installed ObjectDock Plus! and noticed that there was an Activate.exe in the OD folder (because the Plus files are in it too). I clicked on it, however, and I don't know if it is supposed to do this, nothing happened. I restarted my computer, but when I once again clicked on Activate.exe, nothing happened. I searched on Google in order to see if there was any other way I could possibly update ObjectDock, but found none, and I am right now clueless. Is it normal that my computer doesn't react when I click on Activate. exe?
 
If that can be of any help, I am currently running Windows XP.

You should have a Start Menu shortcut to ObjectDock. You do not start the program with Activate. It starts via "C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\ObjectDock.exe"

Doesn't look like it's working. I still have the "normal" ObjectDock when I do that.

Once you launch ObjectDock, it will put up an activate screen where you put in your information to activate it. I think its the email you purchased it under and the serial number that was provided with the download.

Did you uninstall the free version first? You should do that, then install the plus version.

Uninstall both versions then reinstall the plus version. You can't have the free version on your system when you install Plus it borks the installation.

I didn't uninstall the free version, that's why it didn't work before. But I uninstalled it and then installed the Plus version, and now it works perfectly :)
Thank you for your help :)
