FENCES 5

Not properly activated

from Stardock Forums

Good day all. I purchase FENCES 5 through Messrs Ashampoo, the best prize at the time, valid for 5 devices. Installed on 3 devices in my household. Now every time I download and install new software and want to move the icon of the new app to a relevant fence , a window pops up asking for a license key. 

I'm not sure where to lodge a complaint 

Regards

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I assume you have at least activated it once with your license keys, yes? If so please refer to this guide: https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1260552209/Error:+212+or+Product+Keeps+Prompting+to+Activate. Try it and report back.

Thank you.

Dear Basj. Thank you for your advice. I tried it out with no positive result. After deleting the relevant files, re-install Fences 5, rebooting, and trying to re-activate via the purchased license key, I received the following pop-up: Unable to activate Fences as it is currently active on a different computer etc, etc Due to this very message I'm currently running Fences in trail mode on my Desktop and two Notebook computers. My purchased license key is valid for 5 Computers, home users only, and with a so-called lifetime activation. Any more assistance will be appreciated.

Regards.

Dear Jacobus,
 
I just received feedback that this issue is already known and that Stardock has been contacted.
We are truly sorry about this. Stardock has confirmed the receipt of our complaint, and a delivery was promised for last week. However, we must note that this has not yet occurred as of today. 
 
A colleague is working hard to obtain these licenses so that we can resume selling this software and provide you with the corresponding license.
For the moment, unfortunately, I cannot convey any better news.
 
 

Best regards from Rastede/Germany
Martin
