Unable to activate Fences. Error code: -205

from Stardock Forums

I've just purchased Fences 3 and I cannot activate it.

I've tested the activation in two different computers (both with a name without symbols) and it failed in both of them. I have also tried to register the key in my account and an error is displayed: "The serial entered is not valid."

Offline activation produces the following error when req file is uploaded:

"An error occurred while updating the entries. See the inner exception for details. (1001)"

Any idea what the error is?

Thanks in advance.

I'm afraid the post didn't help.

The only mention to error 205 points to non western symbols in computer name. I have tried the activation in two computers, both of them without strange characters or symbols in their names.

У меня такая же проблема. Писал в поддержку но мне не пришло письмо подтверждения. Продублирую моё сообщение тут:

Здравствуйте! Сегодня я решил переустановить Windows. У меня до переустановки работало ваше приложение. Отформатировал диск и запустил чистую установку Windows. После установки я скачал и установил Steam. Скачал и установил Fences. Но у меня вылезла ошибка 205. Я прочитал статью FAQ по этой ошибке. Раньше в имени компьютера было “-” я переименовал компьютер и сейчас он называется “WorkingPC” перезагрузил компьютер чтобы изменения применились. Но Fensec всё так же продолжает ругаться на подлинность лицензии. Я решил полностью переустановить его. Во время удаления, приложение попросило перезагрузить компьютер. Я перезагрузил. Скачал заново приложение, но проблема не исчезла. У меня так же выдаёт ошибку 205. А при старте системы так как Fensec запускается вместе с ней выдаёт ошибку 10. Я не знаю что уже делать. Это приложение очень удобное и я не хочу лишаться возможности им пользоваться. Ps. Я пользуюсь Fensec 3. Темы FAQ по ошибке 10 я не нашёл. Подскажите пожалуйста как исправить эти ошибки и продолжить пользоваться приложением?

I have the same problem. I wrote to support but I did not receive a confirmation email. I'll duplicate my message here: Hello! Today I decided to reinstall Windows. Your application worked for me before reinstalling. I formatted the disk and ran a clean installation of Windows. After installation, I downloaded and installed Steam. Downloaded and installed Fences. But I got error 205. I read the FAQ article on this error. Previously, the computer name had “-”, I renamed the computer and now it is called “WorkingPC”, I rebooted the computer for the changes to take effect. But Fensec still continues to complain about the authenticity of the license. I decided to completely reinstall it. During uninstallation, the application asked to restart the computer. I rebooted. I downloaded the application again, but the problem did not go away. I also get error 205. And when I start the system, since Fensec starts with it, it gives error 10. I don’t know what to do. This application is very convenient and I do not want to lose the opportunity to use it. Ps. I use Fensec 3. I couldn't find the FAQ topic for error 10. Please tell me how to fix these errors and continue using the application?
