There have been some reports of clients receiving '212' activation errors when trying to upgrade from a prior version of Fences (seemingly from Fences 3 and 4, not Fences 5) to Fences 6. We have created this thread to gather such reports and to keep you posted on our investigation of it.

[quote who="TheoGeek" reply="13" id="3964174"] I just purchased an upgrade from Fences 4 permanent to Fences 6 subscription but it won't activate. I downloaded the installer from my account, used the product key from my account, and keep getting a 212 error. [/quote] I answered your ticket, Theo. Sean Drohan Stardock Product Lifecycle Manager

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="9" id="3964153"] Excellent improvements to Fences. Very intuitive controls and ease of arranging groups. Light years better in appearance and function over Fences 5.

[quote who="jamesrome" reply="2" id="3964151"] I have too many subscriptions to Fences. I guess I am, stuck on. 5. How do I revert from 6 to 5?

[quote quoting="post"] I got an email that I have a free upgrade to Fences 6. I have a 5-seat permanent license for Fences 5. That code seems invalid.

[quote who="arneal1" reply="20" id="3964128"] Hi, Sean: I installed the WB update, restarted my machine, and it hasn't helped. I am still not able to click on and open any folders in Explorer. WB also still shows no buttons on Object Desktop. Thoughts? [/quote] Are you still on an insider build of Windows? We MAY have a fix for this but as noted in all our releases, we do not support Insider builds of Windows. If this does not resolve this, we encourage you

[quote who="ff hash" reply="6" id="3964125"] I'd to point out that initially when I mentioned this issue in the other thread I was told that I was using the KVM feature wrong and the KVM screen wasn't used for the purpose in the first screen. Then after this I was shown that in order to use it the way I was using it for years I would need to untick "show powered on computers only" option. Your product is awesome, but some of the information I've gotten since pointing out this issue was c

[quote who="ff hash" reply="23" id="3964120"] Thanks, I followed this, uninstalled all computers, ran the purge tool as Admin on all machines, reinstalled and this time only added 1 machine and already it is doing the same thing. It won't show the computer unless the option is unticked. Here is a screen to show that I've only added one computer. What's interesting is everything worked fine only 2 updates ago. The screen I took above was from 4 beta 3 when it was wor

[quote who="stuartray" reply="14" id="3964003"] Dear Sean, Respectfully, I am not an Windows Insider. Here is what my WB version before installation of 11.04 WindowBlinds 11.02 (017 x64 - Windows 11 Edition) - 64 bit OS, here is my WB version after installation of 11.04 WindowBlinds 11.02 (017 x64 - Windows 11 Edition) - 64 bit OS.

[quote who="cruffin" reply="2" id="3963999"] Thanks for the reply. I saw on the website that users that purchased start11 v1 after a certain date would get an upgrade for free. I am not sure what my purchase date was. Is start11 v1 no longer being supported? Why would I have to purchase the product a second time to get the new version?

This is only an issue with Startt11 v1 and only became so as Windows 'evolved' and after Start11 v2 was release. That said, Start11 v2 does not have this issue.

[quote who="stuartray" reply="12" id="3963985"] I downloaded and installed windowblinds 11.04 but after rebooting my version still shows 11.02. I need to install 11.04 because 11.02 messes up my file explorer and control panel. When I tried a skin other than original after the supposed installation of 11.04 file explorer does not work. I have win 11 24H2 build 26100.3323 with all recent updates installed. [/quote] [quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="11" id="3963669"
