License question

the EULA when opening the setup doesnt state anything about it so I ask in here.

 

on how many (my own personal, non-business) PCs am I allowed to install CursorFX plus? (probably one, but if not please say it)

is it allowed to use one license of CFX Plus on multiple OSes on the SAME machine, like when you have Win7 and 8 or Windows whatever and the Win10 tech preview or alike?

When you state "multiple OSes", SD software will only work on Windows.

You can use CFX on your home machines, desktop and laptop. You may not distribute it to others, and whether you can use it on a business machine (your place of employment or laptop if you travel on business) depends on the policy your IT Dep't. has regarding installation of third party software.

I mean I have bought cursorFX Plus and I have my Main PC with Win 7 8 and the preview of 10 and my laptop with 8 (here is CFX Plus located) and the preview of 10 and I wanna know whether or not I may use my license (you know for abbout 10$) on both PCs or at least both OSes on my Laptop

 

I am specifically talking about CursorFX Plus.

 

btw I KNOW that stardock software is Win only, I even gave an example (where I stated multiple Windows pertitions,,,

VMs...multi-boots, etc should all be recognized as the same machine....ergo as many as you wish.  Between my host, 4 VirtualBoxes and 5 in VMWare I have no issues....;)

and how is it with PCs?

1PC per license isnt it?

 

since as I said nowhere in the eula from the setup something is mentioned, it just mentions that the software is as it is with no warranty etc...

ok, but since he only said CFX I thought that maybe he overread that I am specifically talking about the plus version.

First, an apology to the OP for going off in his thread. That was not my usual style, nor the behavior I am known for here at WinCustomize. As a newish member, you deserved better from me.

Second, one to ID for assuming the worst from his initial statement and not asking for clarification before I made an ass of myself.

Third, an apology to Stardock for not giving them the benefit of the doubt, trusting them to uphold a previous EULA and again, not asking for an explanation first.

I blame fatigue and old age.....been working so far........ ;P

Carry on.

(And a thanks to Jafo for the "enlightenment")........ ;)

Well it is called a subscription as soon as it's over you may not use them anymore. When you get Spotify premium or similar you already downloaded offline music files won't work after your premium period is over..

 

 

Thats why it's called a subscription...

If this is saying that the user will not get updates on an expired subscription until the subscription is renewed then it could of been written much clearer. 

Reply #12 Top

This new EULA needs more clarification before I decide to renew.  (Which is what I should have said in the first place.)

I'll need to clarify further, but I'm pretty sure this is in relation to the new subscription plan coming.

This would be to prevent someone from subscribing for one month and having unlimited access to apps if they don't resubscribe.

then make it that they can keep their stuff after a year of subscription or whatever

It has always been, and I'm sure always will be, that we can continue to use any software we have purchased (provided we have archives), but can no longer get updates for software that has an expired subscription.

To say that if my subscription expires, I can no longer even use what I have already paid for, for the last ten years, would be ludicrous.

 

I'm certain that that is not what is being said here.

 

I'm also sure that someone will clarify this soon.

Is a clear invitation for cracked/stolen software. Which I'm sure will happen if the quoted text is actually coming policy. Talk about alienating your customers....geez.

 

I'm sure Stardock isn't that stupid and this is being misinterpreted.

If you read the thread at Spencer's link, you'll see that the monthly subscription plan is only ONE way of getting the software. The current subscription plan will still be in use as well. I am paid up through Dec. 2016, so, it'll have to be honored.

Reply #17 Top

I know that it's just one way and I still meant that infinity subscription. I dunno how it was before in the eula, but if you just dont recieve any updates when you cancel object desktop standard but you can keep your software that was in it at the time before your sub went out, then it should be honored...

Why not leave it at that.

I'm sure I.D. will clarify things. Since SD doesn't work on weekends, I'd look for a clarification of things next week.

I'm sure that will continue to be the case, provided that you kept installers for what you paid for. Always has worked that way, and as I said, i'm paid up thru 2016, so they'll have to honor the eula that existed when I purchased.

 

Stardock isn't stupid and they don't want to alienate a huge bunch of long time customers.

Yes, Doc. I was posting when you showed up.

 

This will be cleared up soon. Be patient.

That whole month by month plan slipped right past all my brain cells. I am sorry for jumping on you like that Spencer. Me, of all people, should have known to handle my issue with a PM.

Ok folks...

I copied the current EULA from the support pages to answer this members question and somehow this ignited into another storm.

I don't have all the details of the upcoming Object Desktop Infinite, so I can't be 100% clear as I don't want to give information that might be wrong or changed when it is announced.  The basics of ODI are explained in the previous links.  More news on that will come soon enough.

I agree that description isn't clear, but I'm sure once all the details of the new plan come out it'll be changed to reflect.  I'll talk to my bosses about that just so we're all on the same page.  

If it confused people, I'm sorry.  I know it's easy to jump on something and get a whole heated discussion started before everything is laid out, but lets not make this more than it seems right now.

The blame for that falls squarely upon me. :blush:   I also apologize to all my fellow members for dragging them through my B.S.

Just to clarify....CursorFX  is not part of any subscription. It is a standalone app.

 

Reply #25 Top

I know that CFX is standalone. I was just directly responding to the one above me who freaked out that his software could disappear in object desktop.

 

I just dont feel the need to quote the person directly over me which is, btw, forbidden in some forums, because unessecary clutter, loading times (especially when browing from phone) and used database space.
