Updating Premium Skins?

Hiya,

I have a number of premium skins that I've purchased over the years, and I see that some have some updates, but I don't see anywhere that I can update them, how do we update them?

From WC home page, at top above your name, click settings, on that page click registrations, the links to premium skins should be the latest update for them.

You an also go the www.stardock.com/support page and enter your email address to have all the links emailed.

Hiya,

Thanks for the answers, sorry took so long, been so busy I forgot I posted lol.

I don't see anywhere that says that any of the stuff is updated (on the WC site as per your info Cavan1).  Is what is linked on there all the current versions? Or will it say when it's been updated on that page?  The CursorFX has an Upgrade note next to it, but I haven't used that in quite some time so I'm not sure what upgrade that is even.  But none of the skins have any dates (very big flaw in my opinion when sites don't do that, and sooo many are guilty of it lol) so I can't tell if they are updates from what I have or not.  Do I assume that if they are udpated that that site page will just have an updated version or will it say something at some point if it's updated?

Thanks both of you for your help.  Unkn0wn, I think what you pointed me to is where it will email my list of registered products to me which I've done a few times, over the last year, but I dont' see any updated version info on that list either :)

No that page will not state there is an updated version, but will have the link to the lastest updated version.

As a general rule, if it is a Stardock premium skin they will normally post a news article stating it has been updated, if it is a Master skin. when the author updates it will show on WC Gallery page as an updated skin and will be back at the top of the gallery it is in, Windowblinds gallery as an example. In both cases the links on your registrations page will be to that latest update.

Now if only the links would have dates of the last updates on them :/  Downloaded a few of the master blinds that I purchased quite some time ago, only to find they are not only not updated, but not useable either as I guess they are too old.  That's not right for paid content is it? :P

Unfortunately, artists cannot 'future proof' their work and to update them takes a lot of time and effort. Some have been updated to Windows 7. I guess some will get the same treatment and some artists will understandably want to charge for updates. Others will just be left as XP and/or Vista and never be updated to 7.

I totally second that. Would be so much easier to see what has been updated than by manually searching through the galleries. I hope this is included with the new version of the site.
