I do not see where I can update from my account. The link on the last sentence doesn't have a download link.

On your Stardock Downloads page under Object Desktop Manager you will see a little plus sign. Click the plus sign and it will show you all your downloads.

I installed the the Fences 2.12 Beta.  It has the same problem I reported on V2.11, it causes Fences 2.12 continues to crash the Windows explorer shell every few minutes, even when I don’t do anything with Windows.  On V2.11 you had me move large folders off of the desktop to correct the problem.  I have no large folders on the desktop & v2.11 is running fine, but V2.12 crashes removed & reinstalled V2.11 all OK.  Note: You may find the previous problem under cavinlang@comcast.net apparently I have 2 accounts here....

I am afraid, Fences 2.12 is still not Windows 8/8.1 compatible. "compatible" means more than just "runs on ...". My issues have been mentioned on this forum already months ago:

  • Still Win 7 visual appearence (e.g. round corners)
  • Still cannot use multiple pages with a touch device (no middle mouse key, no alt key on screen keyboard, conflict with charms and start on right and left screen edge)

We are talking about a commercial product, not freeware, aren't we?

For some reason, Fences updated fine to 2.12, but I got a Problem Code 9 in Stardock Central doing it - what was that all about?
