Start11 upgrade to V2

Hi, I've recently purchased the v2 Upgrade for Start11. Considering I can't find any export settings option in the v1 configuration menu, I'd like to ask; Will my settings be transferred after I install the v2 version?

Thank you.

Typically, they should. Start11v2 has so many new options, you might want to consider rebuilding your Start11 menu. Some folks have had issues installing V2 over V1, so I would recommend uninstalling V1, Restart, install V2, Restart. Its up to you. You can export your settings from Regedit. Open Regedit and navigate to "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Start8" and right-click the Start8 folder and select Export.

What I would do is install over V1 and see if it works for you. If it does not, you can always uninstall V2 and check the "remove settings" during that process and start fresh. It's very important to restart your computer when asked to do so.

My annual sub expired yesterday and I'm considering renewal, I do not see a continuation for Star11 version 1 when checking products and what is included in Object 11, I had the latest version of Star11 (V1) - 1.55, and it worked fine for me. If I do renew will the new activation work on the previous version or will I be forced to use Star11 V2?

Start11v1 and v2 are different licenses. One won’t work for the other. If you have Object Desktop, that will work for both.
