Okay. What is the latest version? When I downloaded Fences 4 it wouldn't take my License No.

No, get the latest version available to you. Which ever version appear within in your: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. If its only Version 3. Than, get the latest for version 3. This is just to make sure you have a fresh file to install.

Thank you,

There is a test you can try if there is one of the shortcut is causing the issue. Move all your shortcut on your desktop into a folder. Try enable Fences after that is done. If Fences can be enable. Move those shortcut back into your desktop area until you get to the one that causing the issue. There were reports where shares network drive/cloud items causing issues.

Thank you,

Tried that and it did not work. Any other suggestions at this point I can't use fences. Would Fences 4 work?
