Is Activation always this hard?

I purchased Start 11 directly from Stardock last week and it installed and activated correctly. This past weekend I had problems with Windows 11 and had to uninstall Start 11 to make sure it wasn't causing my problems. This week when I try to install it I get the message that the Activation Code doesn't match my email address. It's the only email I've ever used on Stardock and what I log in with. I can view the order and verified the Activation code in Order History but I can't log in with the Code or by activating by singing in. That also tells me it isn't assoctiated with my email.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. No, usually Activation is a simple 2-3 steps thing. The usual suspect for this issue is wrongly put in email address while ordering. Or using paypal or something similar to it when paying which resulting the email tied to that purchase is the email that link to paypal etc. You can verify that by using this guide : https://forums.stardock.com/484254/getting-your-products-and-keys. Do the product lookup and see if the product is listed. If it is not there. It shows that it is another email address. Try another email address. If all fail. Please raise a support ticket : https://stardock.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/4. Include all your purchase details in there and Support will help you from there.

Thanks

Thanks, I've tried every step possible, even trying every email address I've ever owned and it tells me none are tied to my Activation number. I've looked into trying a ticket but it's telling me they're ONLY supplying email support for certain problems and this doesn't fall into any of them. I can try for a refund though and that's what I'll do.
