Start11 V2 Activation Loop - Post-Reinstall Reactivation Failure

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

Start11 V2 suddenly lost its activation status. When reopening, it prompted me to uninstall. After clicking 'No', the software closed without any window allowing me to reactivate. Searching for Start11 to open it repeatedly leads to the same process. I have already used Purge to uninstall and restart the computer, then reinstalled Start11. Is there any solution to re-enter the activation and use the software?

Thanks.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try this guide: https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1260552209/Error:+212+or+Product+Keeps+Prompting+to+Activate.

If it still happening note that: It has also been reported that some “system cleaner” type software will remove these needed files, if this happens, adjust your program to not scan these folders

Thank you,

Hi,

The Start11 folder in this path (%ProgramData%\Stardock) is empty. After deleting the Start11 folder, the problem persists. The computer is not running any "system cleaner" software.

Perhaps, something is blocking Start11 from accessing that folder and put the license file in there when activating. Please refer to this guide: https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1419378826/The+Stardock+installer+failed.
