Question of the user who bought Start8 about upgrade to a newer version

from Stardock Forums

Hi,I have question:

I know that it can be used after purchase Start8 on two computers.

so far I've only used Start8 on my one machine (laptop).

I bought yesterday. And successfully activated via unlock wrote my mail and password (yesterday and it was version 1.01).

today (the day after purchase) I noticed that in Stardock Downloads is a newer version 1.02

when on the machine where yesterday I activated version 1.01, uninstall it
and then restart my windows, and install newer version 1.02 (and activate via same procedure -> after installation click on unlock and wrote my mail and my password)

will it still count as an application on a single machine? I understand it well

I not come the opportunity to Start8 activated on the second machine in the future?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

(and small second question: about this newer version, this new version 1.02 not shows in "start8-configuration-about-check for upgrades" but only in startdock download,why? it's just a bug on / in my windows or not? or it is purposely? and I could not find anywhere changelog)

I don't know about your licensing questions.

In fact, I didn't even know I could use 1 license on 2 computers.

 

But I can tell you that you do NOT need to uninstall the previous version prior to installing the new version.

Just install the new version straight over the top of the previous version.

You also should not need to reactivate after installing the new version.

Ya, thanks.

(I prefer uninstall previous version and install newer version as clean, and no reinstall new version over older. Therefore I asked on this.)
