Find out Fences activation info?

from Stardock Forums

This is a bit embarrassing but is there any way to find out the serial or associated email of an existing Fences installation? I ask because I remember having a friend buy me Fences way back during the early Windows 7 days I think since I haven't had any means to pay online back then.

Ever since then I never reinstalled Windows as I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 10 without a reinstall and even on hardware changes I always just cloned the drive so I never had to care about my Fences activation.

Now with the advent of Windows 11 I bought another SSD and run the Insider Preview in dual-boot with Windows 10. Upon installing Fences I then realized I have no clue what the associated email or key is after all these years. Obviously my Fences copy on Windows 10 is still active though so I wondered, is there any way to read-out the email and/or key?

I wouldn't mind rebuying Fences but first I wanted to ask if there's another solution.

Thanks for help in advance!

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. May I know what Fences version you have installed in your old Windows 7 and what version of Fences you're planing to run on your Windows 11? I don't think Fences v1 or v2 would run properly with Windows 11.

Anyway, you can raise a support ticket with all the details on your purchase, might need to get it from your friend, and Support will help you from there.

Thanks for the reply! I'm running Fences 3 on Windows 10 and the 30-day trial works fine so far on Windows 11. And that's the thing, I don't remember anything regarding my Fences activation, I'm not even sure which friend helped me or if I told them to use my email instead of theirs. I only had two friends with a credit-card at that time but even when raising a ticket I wouldn't be sure what to tell the support people there.

All I know is I have a working Fences installation on Windows 10 carried over from Windows 7 and I don't know where it came from so to speak.

 

EDIT: I just looked into the Stardock keys for this account and my Fences key is actually there! I'm not sure how it got there but I take it :P

Also I might aswell ask, is there anywhere I can tie my Windows Blinds key to this account? I got it from a Humble Bundle pack I think.

Not really sure on humble bundle purchased. But you can create a support ticket and include all your Humble Bundle purchase information and Support should be able to help you from there.
