Will Start10 licenses be revoked?

from Stardock Forums

I received an email stating "Start10 Support Ends with Windows 10". I own Start8, Start10, and Start11, but my Start8 license has read "0 current activation out of 0 total" for years now, which is fine because I pity anyone still using Start8 or Windows 8, but I'm concerned that my Start10 license will end up the same way and that I won't be allowed to use Start10 anymore. What's the plan regarding Start10 licenses?

Hello,

I understand your concern, but from what I understand your license key should still work, even though officially support has stop. But, to be sure, please wait for Support to reply to you officially.

Thank you,

I don't believe Stardock have ever stopped a license working just because the software is no longer supported.  To the best of my knowledge your Start10 should continue to work and activate as before but obviously only on Win10.  It does not work on Win11 were you to upgrade, but Start11v2 supports Win10 and Win11.

Is it possible your Start10 was an upgrade to Start8 as that might be a reason why it says 0 of 0 on that one.
