No limit to access to standalone WB??

from Stardock Forums

Hi all. :)

I had purchased OD some time ago thinking i would make great use out of all it provided. Turns out i suck at creating anything, so my need of it has never required any further subscriptions, i have the bulk of it backed up and archived so i can still use it, when needed.
Except for Windowblinds. I recently did a reinstall, and for the life of me i don't know where my archived WB is, and since my OD is expired, iv'e lost it.

So, since i dont require the functionality of OD, i figure i'd just rebuy WB but i had two questions before i do so.

Standalone WB doesn't have a subscription time on it does it? I', not so reliant on backups since i can redownload it anytime?

Every time i use part of OD it tells me to renew at a discount, does that discount apply to WB standalone at all?

Thanks guys!

If you buy WB you get to use it forever without extra costs.  You will get all updates up to the next major version number.  You can download that version forever.

There is no discount for WB from an Object Desktop subscription.

Go to Stardock.com/store and login. Then go to your account. It should tell you whether or not you have WindowBlinds available. If yes then download it. Its a .exe, an installer package that you keep forever whether your sub expires or not. The only difference is you won't have access to newer versions or upgrades. Check it out.

Thanks Zubaz, as i suspected, just thought i would be sure.

Uvah, i will check that out before i purchase, but as i understand it, since my WB license is apart of ODU, and that has expired, all subsequent license have as well. I will look though, thankyou.

As i suspected Uvah, ODU is not listed under my account, with the license expired it's no longer available to me. worth a look though. (i suspect WB would not have been listed separately anyway, since it was not purchased but ODU was.) :)

Zubaz, (or anyone else that knows) listed under my account is something called Wincustomize Customer Loyalty that when clicked gives me an add to account button.
Any info on what this is please?

At one point there was a change in the subscription model at WinVustomize.  The bring balance to the force a product was added to people's accounts.  That is what you are seeing. 

It is safe to ignore it.
