Fences 4 will not enable - no option to buy Fences 3

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

I have the same type of problem that I have seen reported here where Fences 4 just will not enable.  I've done the purge and all that and it never enables.  I have an install of Fences 3, but it states the key is in use and I can buy a new one.  Would be happy to, but I can only buy Fences 4.  Been using Fences for years and never had an issue with it, so this came as quite a surprise.  

I'm happy with using version 3, but I can't buy a key for it.  I can't get 4 to work.  Any ideas to try?

Best regards,

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. May I know more on your issue.

  1. You on Windows 10 or 11? Also its full version number please. Use Winver.exe.
  2. When you tried to enable Fences 4 what error popup?

Thanks

Hi Basj,

Window version is 22H2 - 19045.2251.  Note that this is 32bit installation on VMWare 15.5  I have several virtual machines, both 32 and 64bit that run older versions of Fences without any problems.  

There is no error, nothing at all.  I click the "Enable Fences" and nothing happens.  The setups says it's enabled, but if I drag on the desktop, it just shows the "Enable Fences" at the top.  

At this point I'd be happy to buy Fences 3 as it works on this Virtual Machine (I tried it and it was properly enabled)  

Best regards,
