ObjectDesktop Renewal + Impulse and SD Central not talking to each other

OD Now "Missing" 13 utilities?

from WinCustomize Forums

Hi again. I understand Stardock are transitioning away from Impulse and in the end it will be great so I have renewed OD and downloaded primary .exe files successfully but can anyone tell me where all the little "extras" have gone such as:

Desktop X,  Icon X,  Enhanced File dialogue, Desktop Gadgets, Drive Scan, Keyboard Launchpad, Object Edit, Object Media, Stardock virtual Desktops, Tab Launchpad, Tiles and Object Zip all of which were available via the Impulse system we all had to use and which Impulse are still showing.  

Impulse now does not recognise that I now have a valid subscription and SD Central does'nt show these "extras".  Seems like a no win and comments please?

You "shouldn't" be using Stardock Central. It's not still supported as it was replaced by Impulse several years ago...;)

Many applications have been discontinued and are not available anymore.

If you look at the stardock software site https://www.stardock.com/software/ Tiles is listed as still existing. In addition, if you look at the Object Desktop site https://www.stardock.com/products/odnt/information.asp Tiles is at the top of the list since it is the newest (I believe) of the Object Desktop applications. However, Tiles does not appear as one my product downloads as part of my recently updated Object Desktop Subscription. In addition, several of the links (such as Tweak 7 ) are dead.

From a customer perspective, the excuse that Impulse was sold off and Stardock Central is no longer supported just do not seem to have any relation to why many of the Object Desktop applications seem to be no longer available. . .seems more like I renewed a subscription to a company that is not going to be around too long.

jebode ...Use the link Island Dog posted to access your downloads.

I just checked myself and Tweak 7 is a live link. [seemed a little slow...but then I'm 10,000 miles away].

I'll need to check [or have someone at SD check] as to why Tiles doesn't show for you...;)

Thank you Island Dog and Jaffo, your replies are much appreciated.  Now thankfully my stardock store account is showing most of the old extras which is great  news. 

 

One more thing though I do not know where/how I can see if any updates are available.  Stardock store is showing now Control Centre 192a.exe which looks like the right software but it will not accept the serial number I have been given in the Stardock Store so am unable to find out.  

Any suggestions please - I think I am on the last leg here so am hopeful to put this all to bed.

Regards
