Need Legacy Installer for Object Desktop 2005

I am a retro computer enthusiast and I am looking for the installer for Object Desktop 2005 to install on my Windows 2000 retro machine. I purchased it back in 2005 and still have my original purchase receipts and license keys. I see Object Desktop 2005 listed in my account but when I click the Download button it just takes me to my profile page. I also did the serial number lookup and got an email with keys and download links, but clicking the Download link for Object Desktop 2005 just takes me to the current Object Desktop Manager download page. How do I get the Object Desktop 2005 installer? Thanks for any help!

Hi Basj,

I see Object Desktop 2005 listed in my account but when I click the Download button it just takes me to my profile page. I also did the serial number lookup and got an email with keys and download links, but clicking the Download link for Object Desktop 2005 just takes me to the current Object Desktop Manager download page.

How do I get the Object Desktop 2005 installer? I'll go ahead and create a support ticket.

Well, For ObjectDesktop, you can download all your product while your sub is active. Once it is not, than you can't do it anymore. That is why Subscriber was asked to keep the installer they download for later date. You can read more on it here : https://forums.stardock.com/486310/object-desktop-support-faq#objectdesktop

Thank you,

Well that's a big bummer. This was 16 years ago, so obviously back then it didn't occur to me to keep every installer for every release of OD, I only kept the latest one. I renewed my subscription just now hoping I can access the OD 2005 installer, since it's still listed in my account, but that did not work. Is there no other way to get this installer now? 

I was able to download WindowBlinds 4.6 Enhanced from my account just now so you obviously have those legacy installers somewhere.

I created a support ticket SSN-12323 as you asked. Thank you.
