Thanks, When I re-install windows again I'll use that account to try activating again, I bought another Start8 on a different account so I used the new account with this last Start8 activation. I got the e-mail to from you guys and saved it, Thanks
Well I emailed support 2 weeks ago and havent heard back from them yet, Is there a way to get my [email protected] account activating Start8 again ?
Well I think I figuired it out, Its not a bug. I re-install my windows ALOT and the past 6 weeks I've installed Win8/Server2012 about 20 times, I do this for new video drivers and or if a bad driver is installed. I know I have OCD lol So I reinstalled windows again, my retail server 2012 standard copy, I tried activating again same thing happened. So I bought another copy with a different email but used my same name etc.
I installed a fresh copy of Win8 after the windows updates I then installed Start8 1.10, the Unlock screen comes up I click on Unlock Previous etc. It logs in and it completes says Registration Complete, Once I click OK on the Registrations complete window it then brings me back to the Trial, Purchase, Unlock Previous window again. Start8 will Not Activate, Im using Start8 currently in Trial mode :( This really sucks :(
Im assuming the correct way to reactivate Start8 is first time run click "Register" button then if you re-install Win8 you install it then "Login" instead of clicking "Register" again ?
I've been using Start8 ver.1.00 with Win8 x64 for over a week I havent seen it crash explorer yet (knocking on fake wood), It might be beacause I installed a very important update for windows first before I installed any software or drivers. The update is KB 2756872, It will update your windows to version 6.2.9200.16420
Thanks for Start8 Stardock I LOVE it !, Best 5 bucks I have ever spent :) I have 1.00 running now whats the best way to install the new version, Do I just run the setup while the other one is running ? Does it overwrite the old version ? FYI: The Check for Updates in the Start8 CP is saying theres no updates available.
