Help with Activation Please
Thursday, September 21, 2006 by _footsie_ | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I just installed YAY!!! lol WB5....I'm not getting the prompt to activate that tech support said I would get after restarting...?????
I've registered it....and reregistered my Wincustomize subscription through Stardock Central...but as I understand, Activation is mandatory....yet other than the prompt that isn't showing up....I don't know how else to go about making sure I comply with the requirement
eeek! lol
Another question....I can only get dialup out here in the boonies and they have several servers that I connect to when I go online, so my 'address' is probably not going to be the same everytime I get online.....even though I only have a desktop running Windows XP SP2
When I finally am able to activate.....with your help lol.....am I going to have problems because of the dialup?
Thanks in advance for your help

Is this the trial version?
If the full, did you have the trial? Did you uninstall?
Can you uninstall and reinstall with antivirus off?
And lastly, but maybe most importantly, can you open the wb config and click on teh system info button? Please post it here if you can.
If you can't go to the directory that has WB in it via the command prompt (Start | Runn . ..| CMD [enter].
Type "dir > info.txt" without the quotes and hit the [Enter] key.
Open that file and post the contents here.

When Reinstalling my Windowblinds, I dont enter any serial keys. I just install it from Stardock Central and it takes care of the rest for me.

As far as the dial-up, there should be no problems at all with different servers. Just have fun and enjoy!
