The updated manager tells me that desktopx is not compatable with my system on both windows7 and windows8

Well, rustysam, it may not be all that wrong.  -_-

 

 

Really though, it's legacy stuff, so I'm not surprised. X|

Nevertheless, before prompting me to uninstall SDC  there should have been a a warning that it only is good for Obeject Desktop apps. I find no use in it this way.

Carl, I installed SDC after installing ODM, and all is well.   I can use SDC for the rest, until hopefully, Stardock adds the other stuff to ODM, maybe as a setting?

 

Rather than Hide Software, there could be a Show Other Software setting, for those who want it. No sense in having to use ODM and SDC.

But if the intention is to have an "everything-manager" ODM becomes what SDC already is...

The only way this would make sense (to me) would be if all OD-suite applications was removed from SDC leaving only ODM available for download to subscribers. And when you install ODM the license for the *complete* suite is locked to the computer where it is installed rather than just one license for the particular app being installed. It would make it easier to get an overview of purchased licenses if you have several licenses of subscriptions and/or individual apps.

Something which would be very helpful too would be to add a something in SDC which displays how many installations of software is in use or available, and also a requirement for login credentials to install software from SDC (to prevent unauthorized people from installing additional software from someone-elses stardock account, scenario: I buy OD-suite for my grandfathers laptop, instead of having to register a full account for granddad I just install SDC, use up an appropriate license from my account, and then install ODM. Now granddad gets to play with ODM, but if he tries to run SDC to install some other of my licensed programs he'll get a request for credentials).

Geesh, this got long... Not sure if I'm coherent here. If I'm wrong about the intentions of Stardock, I don't mind if they rip off ideas from here should they like them. Free advise, but if something which is my idea brings in huge wads of cash I don't mind one or more free subscription extensions though ;)

c242 and a mickeko sighting all in the same thread. Good seeing you guys and as always, your thoughts and input are much needed.

+1 for being able to add ODPlus and CFX to the ODM software list.

not that those two will ever get updated.......... :-"

As much I really appreciate people always finding workarrounds (no sarcasm/irony here !) I would appreciate not needing any at all for simple tasks. ;-)
