Wincustomize subscription

Tuesday, March 18, 2008 by Hornet08 | Discussion: Stardock Support General

Hi

so i've been a member for almost 6 1/2 years and only today have i gone over the 500mb download mark

just tried to download a dream & am being told that I should purchase a subscription :/

now i wouldn't mind but I purchased object desktop yesterday and it seems a bit odd that since hitting 500mb my status has gone from 3(current customer) to 3(past customer)

is this normal? do I now have to shell out more money just to use wincustomize?

If you purchased ObjectDesktop you should be at customer level and have no download limit. Did you use the same email as the account you have on here? Have you registered the product in SDC?

hi, thx for the quick reply

it's registered although under a different email

have merged the two emails under account settings (although not sure how successful that's been)

haven't been able to activate deskscapes yet (haven't tried to install anything else) & have logged a ticket with the helpdesk, awaiting reply.

i was at customer level until I hit 500mb though, this was my worry.

Ok so are you in need of account merging? I wonder at it since you are not sure if it helped. If you send me the info I can check.

If you downloaded Deskscapes from the website uninstall the software and download through Stardock Central. There you can use the Object Desktop serial number and it should activate fine.

Think I've broken it

It appears I have 2 Wincustomize accounts (probably created for conformity on my side) ironically it was to make things easier for me to remember

This is the actual a/c I want to use (it's lv4), I've merged it with the stardock a/c

however, since logging back in under this account i'm having problems monitoring my helpdesk ticket
[#LMT-678206]

Invalid SQL: SELECT COUNT(*) AS totalitems FROM `swtickets` AS tickets WHERE `email` IN ('[email protected]'); (Can't open file: 'swtickets.MYI' (errno: 145))Invalid SQL: SELECT * FROM `swtickets` AS tickets WHERE `email` IN ('[email protected]') ORDER BY `lastactivity` DESC LIMIT 0,50; (Can't open file: 'swtickets.MYI' (errno: 145))

I don't want to post another query for reasons set out in the sticky,

guess I just need my activation count reset.

What info can I send you to help me?

Your activations have been reset. That is the current error for anyone using ESupport including support. We are awaiting our service provider to fix this issue so we can get back to answering email at the moment.

thanks for this

just installed deskscapes through SC and during activation had error 5

this is after i'd merged the two accounts that needed merging (at least i thought)

could this be because of the windowblinds purchases i'd made years ago?

Hornet08,

Check your e-mail, I found you had three accounts and have merged them, instructions are in the e-mail I've sent.

still not working i'm afraid!

'Error activating the product

If you are using Stardock Central you can right-click on the product and attempt to activate without reinstalling. Please include this log file when contacting [email protected].'

'Activation result: 5' on the rest.

anything else I can do?

Support seems to be up for the moment. Please PM me all your account details you are using for activation and I will try to assist you from there.

Hmmm, I wonder on a scale of 1-10 how difficult this problem is to fix?

Typically this is a 1 .  . . . but you are lucky enough to be atypical.

Wasn't being a smart-ass.  Seabass and Highlander are support and have been helping you.  Usually this is an easy fix . . but this time it isn't.

I was trying to provide useful (and humorous) information in response to your comments.
