I'm not sure what all of the complaining for the upgrade is about. It is a nice upgrade for the very small price. I got the 5 license pack, essentially 5 licenses for the price of 2. I was happy to pay the price for this upgrade. This is the cheapest price I have ever payed for an update or upgrade.
I could not access the activation server even with my AV disabled, while I had 300+ MPBS internet access. Offline activation, which requires an internet connection, worked just great.
I just installed V2 and all of the settings were preserved. Warning you may need to use the offline activation, which is easy, as the online activation is mainly broken.
I bought the 5 license pack for $7.99, less than $2.00 each. This is way cheap, no price complaints from me. Activation however was a real pain for me.
I was able to get the offline activation to work, the online activation is still a concern.
where can I get a copy of V1 of Start11?
I tried to install it again today. Same issue unable to connect to the activation server, check your internet connection. I ran a speed test download 366 MBPS upload 12.5 MBPS.
Yes I did purchase V2.
Installed Start11 v2, did required reboot, but could not activate the product, claimed that there was no internet connection. Which is not true, my internet connection is just fine. Any ideas what to try?
