Not to long ago I had an e-mail exchange with one of the VPs here @ Stardock in regards to e-mail aliases. It was my first week starting out and he was not yet aware of what my e-mail address was, so he informed me to help me out (and I'm sure to make it easier to contact me later) that he had added the alias Curtis@stardock.com to my e-mail address. Always one to get the first joke in, I responded with "Can I also have jessica@stardock.com as an alias....no particular reason". His response was a compromise of Shirley@stardock.com. So, about a week or 2 later when I heard that my handle @ WinCustomize had been changed to the very same name, I took it as a sign that this was destined to be, at which point I changed my nick on irc.stardock.com, sealing the deal.

Looking forward to moving ahead as the man in womens clothes....

Good to know werewolf. I take it that you used the newer serial number then?



Yes. Put in the newer number in the registration screen for IP. Restarting Impulse did not help anything. I had to right click on the IP item under My Desktop and choose re-validate.

Nothing else helped.]]>http://mmohouse.joeuser.com/article/312312http://mmohouse.joeuser.com/article/312312Fri, 04 Jul 2008 21:02:30 -04002008-07-05T01:02:30werewolf on Panic Buttonstarkershttp://mmohouse.joeuser.com/article/312312 ]]>http://mmohouse.joeuser.com/article/312312http://mmohouse.joeuser.com/article/312312Fri, 04 Jul 2008 21:02:30 -04002008-07-05T01:02:30starkers on Panic ButtonJafohttp://mmohouse.joeuser.com/article/312312Let this be a lesson to all.

Why it's considering IP as not installed ? and not with the version which is installed ?   

2°) Then i even tried to update the V 3.20.128 and after the reboot i've IP 3.99.144 installed with the new interface but still with languages not working ...   

though, back to 3.20.128 unless a correct version will be out ...

I don't really understand why it's neccessary for ODNT subscribers as a verification is already down with Stardock account ...


It is labled as sig.bin and by simply placing it into the directory of the software (on the same PC it was created on)


I know that, though why is it not working with me ? I think i got the same trouble of "excessive activations" above 5 or 6 times since not so much time ...

Hi there,

Again, i've got a message "maximum activation reached" or something like that when trying to install a correct version of IconPackager (Note that IP V 3.99.143 is still with the old graphic interface and that previous version in new one does not allow me to change language. I resume: V 3.99.143 ==> old interface with french / V 3.99d[b].062 or previous ==> new interface but can't apply french language or any other one ...)

I'm really board off these troubles coming with activation specially for ODNT subscribers which by definition are there to test and install / uninstall application more than non ODNT users ... It would be time to consider that point and make something different ...

Though thanks for renewing activation

Philippe Paquet Aka neophil aka neophil78

[copy OFF]

In same time i left a message on IconPackager forum ==> WWW Link

As i said i'm really exasperated by these "excessive activation"
I'm a ODNT subscriber and as for those, there's a verification done if account is avaible or not. Though i think it's enough, but no no no :
Then for each soft there's an activation is count whem just downloading one app, then when applying it, then when uninstalling it.
ODNT subscribers are a big source of feedback of bugs in betas and i really wonder where Stardock would be with development without these feedbacks ...

Though leave us alone (i mean ODNT subscribers) with application activations !!!!!!!!!!! and/or give us a permanent and /or automatic 24/24, 7 days way to reactivate ...         ]]>http://mmohouse.joeuser.com/article/167898http://mmohouse.joeuser.com/article/167898Fri, 04 Jul 2008 21:02:30 -04002008-07-05T01:02:30neophil78 on Support SurvivalGirishEhttp://mmohouse.joeuser.com/article/167898
Thats you opinion. I have a different opinion. Moreover, you are not facing a problem but i am. I have paid and am still waiting for the product. I did not get any help so far.

I posted my problem here expecting stardock support personnel will reply to my post.

I did not post my problem to argue about different points of view. So, i appreciate what you think.But what i think is also correct.

Yes. I appreciate that people have families and need time off. My point is that if some pays for something he expects to get something in return. In my case, i have paid for the product and am unable to use it because i dont have it still.

All i said was if they cant provide support on weekends, they should stop accepting sales over weekends so that the end customer does not have to suffer.

I hope i have made my point clear.]]>http://mmohouse.joeuser.com/article/167898http://mmohouse.joeuser.com/article/167898Fri, 04 Jul 2008 21:02:30 -04002008-07-05T01:02:30GirishE on Support Survivalkillajoshhttp://mmohouse.joeuser.com/article/167898http://mmohouse.joeuser.com/article/167898http://mmohouse.joeuser.com/article/167898Fri, 04 Jul 2008 21:02:30 -04002008-07-05T01:02:30killajosh on Support SurvivalNimbinhttp://mmohouse.joeuser.com/article/167898What i dont understand is that why does Stardock u sell products if u cant provide support during weekends.

GirishE, it's not unusual for support services to be closed on weekends, this is the case with any number of companies around the world.

I bought Object Desktop yesterday and its been more than 18 hours that i have not received any email with the link to download, serial number etc.

I tried to login with my email address and first it said that the password was incorrect. I tried twice, then clicked on Forgot your password. Changed password. Received an email with a new password. Tried to login with the new password and the system prompted that i cant login as i have exceeded maximum number of tries.

What i dont understand is that why does Stardock u sell products if u cant provide support during weekends. I am worried about the entire thing.

I emailed sales@stardock.com but did not receive any email. Imagine someone who has paid for the product and cant use it, cant get any support, does not know what to do. How frustrated and annoying he will feel??????????

I am replying with a hope that someone lets me know when i would get the link. If i can get an email within seconds for password change, the email with the serial and download link should have also appeared.

Please look into this. I am expecting a reply asap.

Pleaseeeeeeee help me out.

Thanks in advance
