MISGUIDED REDNECK MISSES THE POINT ENTIRELY! Quite right, it is Stardocks' right to impose Impulse on buyers of Fences Pro. If I don't like it, I should not buy Fences Pro. But that is NOT the issue or the problem! Stardocks is obligated to clearly and adequately inform potential buyers about the requirement to install Impulse. Stardocks fails to do that. Stardocks does not adequately inform potential buyers about the Impulse requirement.&

THANK YOU, CAVAN1 & ALL! Thank you for confirming what I had hoped is true about the use of a single license. I could name two other software manufacturers who have a virtually identical license policy as Stardocks...but counted two software installations in one dual-OS PC as using the license twice...barring me from installing the software in my second PC (laptop). Anyway, I thank all for their replies. PS: If I should discover that Stardocks

Cavan1, WHAT??? [e digicons]:\[/e] How does Stardocks' only statement of the Impulse requirement adequately inform the buyer as to what Impulse is? There is only one sentence of eleven words stating "Impulse must be installed in order to download and update software." Now, how does that sentence adequately describe Impulse? How does it describe or explain what Impulse is? Hence, the Impulse requirement as written

I have a license-related question. An answer shall be deeply appreciated. Most software manufacturers allow the buyer to use a single license to install on two PCs (owned by the buyer)....such as the buyer's desktop and laptop. (I have not been able to confirm if Stardocks embraces that same license policy? But I assume they do.) IN ANY EVENT, if Stardocks does allow two PCs for one software license, I wonder if I will have any license issues by installing Fences o

WHY IMPULSE IS A BAD REQUIREMENT Aye, Stardock does mention Impulse in the system requirements for Fences Pro. BUT! That 'fine print' notice is inadequate and vague, as well as placed in an inappropriate location. The Impulse requirment does not explain what Impulse is. It does not state that Impulse is a seperate piece of software. After using the free version--sans Impulse, I thought that Impulse was an important feature of the Pro version of Fences!&

STRONGLY RESENT IMPOSITION OF IMPULSE I tried and liked the free 'stand-alone' version of Fences; therefore, I bought Fences Pro. Again, I bought Fences Pro...and Fences Pro ONLY! I did not expect to receive another piece of software...and then be compelled to install that software--Impulse--in order to receive and install the purchased software. It is simply dead wrong to sell a piece of software and then require the installation of another piece of software

I am having some issues with Fences Pro that are related to Impulse (the independent software that Stardocks imposes upon Fence Pro buyers in order to download and install Fences Pro). BUT AS FAR AS YOUR ISSUE MAY RELATE TO THE UPDATE FUNCTION, if you use Fences free version, I don't think the free version is designed to receive automatic updates; therefore, a non-existent feature should not be the cause of your problem. If you are using Fences Pro, I have been told that Impu
