WindowBlinds activation.

Another

from Stardock Forums

Put me down as another user having issues with my newly reinstalled copy of WindowBlinds on my Vista-based system.  I've reformatted the harddrive, installed a new copy of Vista (32-bit) and downloaded all of the updates to Windows.  Then I installed Impulse and downloaded all of my Object Desktop components one by one.  Upon rebooting the system the product activation screen comes up for WindowBlinds and when I type in my Object Desktop serial number I get the message "maximum activations reached". 

I'm an long-time user of Object Desktop (I have the OS2 version and I've used the Windows version since Object Desktop 2000).  My current subscription is good until February 2009 and the other applicatons seem to work ok (except for My Colours since it doesn't change the windows properly due to this issue with WindowBlinds).

I've tried uninstalling WindowBlinds, rebooting the system, then running a couple of registry cleaning utilities (CCleaner and Eusing Free Registry Cleaner) to fix the registry for any leftover stuff on WindowBlinds.  What can I do to get this to work correctly?

Thanks for the speedy feedback - I'll reinstall WindowBlinds and see if everything works the way it's supposed to.

Mine was still giving me the Old Registration Activation Error, now when I try it by right clicking the Registration link and using that number it tells me I've reashed my activation limit.   I was activating it every time I booted it for a while.
