Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the popup that keeps asking you to buy fences (ver. 2.12)? I use Firefox ver. 30.

Buy it or uninstall it.

 

If you have bought it, and you're trying to use it on a second PC. Be patient, it's being worked on.

It is very annoying. I bought fences and later object desktop which also includes fences. I get the popup on every computer now and it is very annoying. I tried to contact stardock but no response. So the answer to this question is NOT buy the software. Now I cannot start the icons in the fences windows because of this problem!. So the product now becomes useless even when you have bought it.

I have the same issue, since a few days, this message pops up on the 2 computers I use with fences (not simultaneously)

I've just un-installed it - guess i'll not renew sub now - I seem to recall it was a personal license for OD not a machine license. And if it expired you just lost access to updates.

I've had OD on my PC and laptop for 10+ years on one sub - I think if its now a per machine license its no longer cost effective.

I don't think its legal to change the basic model of a licencing agreement in the middle of a subscription, without my consent.

Just an update.

We are currently working on the system that will resolve the issues that have come up in this post, and should prevent any activation issues for users who want to install on their home PC and laptop for instance.

We're hoping to get the changes made as soon as possible and just wanted to keep you updated to let you know we are working on a resolution.

We'll update once everything is set.

We're sorry for the troubles, and if you have any issues please feel free to contact support or let me know if I can help.

As Redneck said in Reply 2 above, they're working on it.

It simply shows how popular Stardock's products are....

....just accidentally bung a spanner in the works and a squillion [maybe two] people pop up with the same concerns re licences/activations/etc...;)

The back-room boffins are on the case so it'll be sorted, given a little time...;)

The licence/activation issue has been adressed.  The real solution to the OP is to do as it requests...;)

I;ve purchased Fences, and have entered the activation key over and over. Each time I see the message that Fences activation was successful, but the next day, it asks me to activate Fences again.

I'm using WIn 7 Pro, 64 bit, if that makes any difference.
