You had a response yesterday.

You have a response now.

Please note (as stated in the auto-response) that replying to a support ticket before receiving a reply from technical support will reset the activity counter on the ticket. This will move your ticket to the end of our incoming work queue and delay our response.

I to have the problem of "Maximum activations reached".

I requested a reset on February 20, 2013 Ticket ID: SKP-219-57389 but have yet to receive a reply. Could someone please look into this? I need to do a reinstall of Win 8 in order to create a system image but can't since I'm unable to activate Start8.

Thanks for any assistance that you can provide.

Best regards,

Bob

i have emailed support TWICE to reset it no luck. i would suggest this company must be reported to my state AG for action. twice is more than enough to ask for help. my state is mass, i will give them 2 more days to resolve this before o report it to the AG for action

As noted in the auto reply when you mail support, any replies put your ticket to the back of the queue.  This may have happened here.

If you could post your ticket id here it would be helpful in someone being able to go in and sort it for you quicker.

You should be aware that it is the weekend and so normal support are not in until Monday now, but if the ticket is posted someone may be able to go in manually and sort it before then.

Hitting the activation limit shouldn't be an urgent problem because you can simply click the trial button and then you have 30 days before you need to activate.

Resolved.  Sorry for the delay.

I would love to know why Stardock thinks it's a good idea to block paying customers from their own software? Frankly all of us could have just pirated this app and would have never had to deal with this problem.

BOOOO!!!! This is a BAD idea Stardock! I am a paying, registered user who is CONSTANTLY tweaking/rebuilding/redefining my PC, SSD, etc - my PC is my hobby - and I've invested $$ heavily in my hobby (just as some people do with cars etc) and tweak it daily. To have a screen such as this pop-up after a reformat/re-install doesn't give me the warm fuzzes. While I understand and respect your need to protect your fine software from unauthorized use, this is not the road/method to travel. It does nothing to stop a would be pirate from gaining access to (and using) your software if they so choose (just ask Microsoft, they've been trying new security methods with each new release for decades and still haven't been able to stop the piracy of Windows), it only proves to be an annoyance/inconvenience for paying customers in the end. Please reconsider... In the meantime, I'll submit a support ticket request to have my account/activation reset.

I have an unusual one, and one that really p*sses me off, frankly. I simply restarted my computer after "windows encountered and error" for something else I was doing unrelated to Start8, and when I logged back in after the restart, it popped up with the registration screen for Start8. I put in my details with my activation code (which had been on this PC for many months) and it said "maximum reached". It's the same computer. It's the same config. It's on this computer only. And I've reached my max????!!! PLEASE. I've bought several things from Stardock. Please don't make me go elsewhere due to bad policies... I understand the idea of maximum activations. It makes sense to avoid people pirating and abusing. But when it's legit and you get fried by a policy, it is damaging to the credibility and integrity of that company. I registered with my email that is on my account. I suppose I shall put in a ticket, but as others have mentioned, that seems to be a rather cumbersome process to have to do when you are a legitimate, paying (and on-the-fence loyal) customer....

craigsnapier and roamingchris, sorry for the trouble. I have reset your activation counts. You can now activate again.

Please note that replying to a support ticket before receiving a reply from technical support will reset the activity counter on the ticket. This will move your ticket to the end of our incoming work queue and delay our response. This is done to prevent abuse of our support system with multiple SPAM-like replies. Please reply in such a manner only if you have crucial information to add to the support case.

That said, I worked your ticket and reset your activations.
