Key no longer works for multiple computers

from Stardock Forums

Today I updated Windows, and as always, I have to reactivate Fences 3. But now it says I have Fences on another computer (which I do). But this requirement is new. It has worked for me on multiple computers for years. And there is not even a new version.

No family plan, or discount for 5 computers either.

Every time I update Windows 10 on every machine, I have to reactivate Fences, so it is impossible not to pass any limit. Why does this reactivation need occur? And how can I get all my activations back?

  Go to your downloads page at the Stardock Store.  Find ObjectDesktop, click view product keys, and then  click manage, deactivate all except the one you need.

 

 

In the future, deactivate this way or with the Change License option in Fences About.

Updating Windows shouldn't impact activations.

Are you doing clean installs each time?

No clean installs. Just Fast Track updates every week. Parallels updates too. It is really a pain to have to Activate Fences each time too. Why doesn't Fences remember that it is activated?

Also, I have Fences on 5 desktops, but have just one Key. This has been the case since Fences 2. It has never had a machine limit.

Apparently my pic was not a good idea?  :blush:

It was. Thanks I think. But not sure why this triggered.
