#113 : in fact to be sure WB5 will correctly install itself, i unload WB, turn tha appearance to "Windows Classic", reboot the PC, uninstalled WB 4.60 (all the skins are kept and still avaible), delete some files left in the WindowBlinds directory, reboot the PC, then installed WB5 (which will ask you to reboot also)

darkboo: You were only allowed to use the 4.6 shareware version for 30 days, we just didn't enforce that limit - though a few features did get disabled after 30 days.

If you like the software then please help support development & purchase it.  If everyone uses the shareware version & never pay for it then why would Stardock make new versions?

Okay, so we can DL it......
But what´s with the free Upgrade ? Bought WB 4.6 one Week ago.

mulcifer: are you sure it is installed in the same directory as your WB skins are?

Denon36: Those who get a free upgrade will be given access to that later today.  Don't worry!

Denon36 - when you bought 4.6 did you get a link for SDC? did you register your WB through SDC? if you got SDC then you want to download through SDC - turn off 'show pre release'

darkboo: No, the 4.6 version if you read the EULA states you may use it for 30 days after which you should purchase it.

If you have version 4.6 and bought it after September 1st was it? then you will get the link or SDC will have the Update button activated in a couple of hours, im living in the east coast of canada, and if Stardock is located on the west side of the US, then its only Noon where they are, so its just turning into the afternoon, so give it time people, its Day 1 of release, its not going to disappear after today is said and over with. these guys have worked a long time on this product, so please have some patience.

Thank you LittleHalfPint for the heads-up! Got it! Everything in WB5 seems to be working fine so all is well here! (Whew!) Now it's time to really explore my new toy.

I hope so...

I've been using Windowblinds for about a year now...

I don't plan on getting all the Object Desktop stuff until I get my new computer...

All I found was my Windowblinds 4.6 download...

And a email from someone called Jimmy Rodriguez that I quickly deleted...

No Mail and only the "Upgrade Pay Version" available.
And when i let me send my Information it gives again the 4.6 Link - sucks !

The email I'm getting is the usual one when you do a uninstall and reinstall...

But no upgrade email...

#145, The free upgrade is provided to people who purchased it from 1st September 2005.  Before that its a $15 upgrade fee.

1 - 5 - 2005 to be exact...


If that's when you bought WB, I don't think you will get a free upgrade. I believe I read only those that bought WB on 9-1-2005 or after will get it.
