Unable to Activate Fences After new Purchase

from Stardock Forums

I had a purchased Fences 2 installed and then upgraded to Fences 3.  Yesterday my Fences 3 license expired.  When I ran Fences 3 it asked for my email and Activation code.  I put those in the dialog and nothing happens.  IF I click on the X to close the dialog it tells me the product was not activated.  There is only a "back" button lower left in the dialog .... so how are you supposed to Activate?  UPDATE: I noticed on some of the support posts that there is supposed to be an "Activate" Button on the lower right side of the Dialog.  There is no such button.  Only "Back"

I'm Running windows 10 Pro.

After many, many attempts with the various solutions that are posted and after trying:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Fences"\SASUpgrade.exe -prodId=2628 -prodName="Fences3" -company="Stardock" -ver="3.00" -email="USER@USER.COM" serial="PRODUCTKEYGOESHERE"

Multiple times if finally worked and is now registered.

So in my case the sollution at: https://forums.stardock.com/486311/accounts-and-activation-support-faq#activatecommandprompt worked after a half dozen tries.
