Activation Problem on ARM Device

from Stardock Forums

I'm having a problem activating Fences 5 on my new Surface Pro. The program installs. When I enter the product key, it tells me that the activation was successful, but when I try to use the program, I get this message: "Fences for ARM is currently in beta and part of Object Desktop Labs. To use Fences on ARM devices, please visit https://redirect.stardock.com/object-desktop-labs-arm for additional details on how to obtain Fences for your device."

The tech details:

Windows 11
Version 24H2 (OS Build 26100.863)
Processor    Snapdragon(R) X 10-core X1P64100 @ 3.40 GHz   3.42 GHz
Installed RAM    16.0 GB (15.4 GB usable)
System type    64-bit operating system, ARM-based processor

Fences 5 (arm cpu version) is still in its beta testing phase. Unfortunately, the beta versions that do support arm cpus that would work on your snapdragon X cpu are exclusive to Object Desktop subscribers. OD members get early access to certain content.

For non OD subscribers you will have to wait until Fences 5 (arm version) is released out of its beta testing.

I completed the permanent purchase since it was indicated that ARM could be used when purchasing Fence 5. However, contrary to the advertisement, I can't use it on ARM, and thus can't utilize Fence 5. Can I keep extending the 30-day temporary license until the official version is released?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I don't think there is such option, but if you can't use it on ARM base system why your need to extending it anyway?

Thanks

I have installed and activated the beta version of Fences 5. It works, but the background image is accidentally black.
