Subscription Confusion
Wednesday, October 22, 2008 by DeathByPixlz | Discussion: New Users
I was filling out the 08' Member Survey and it asked if I was a subscriber, I almost just said yes but then I wasn't actually sure. I seem to have thought I was, but is Member different than Subscriber? What was it I got with the ObjectDesktop Ultimate? Is that a WinCustomize subscription or a Stardock subscription?
If I click on Subscriber Resources all I get is the page asking me to subscribe, but some of the "benefits" of subscription listed I seem to already have access to. Like Customer level (4), Ad Free browsing.... but I can't rate skins. I am a member and seem to have the ability to "create my site" and change number of skins viewed per page, but does that mean subscriber?
WinCustomize, Stardock.net, ObjectDesktop.net? What am I subscribed to when I bought ObjectDesktop Ultimate? I'm confused.
Wow, I've never wrote Subscri(...) so many times in one sitting.

You are subscribed to Object Desktop for 1 year, gets you updates for all the apps and new versions released during that year.
A Wincustomize subscription is a separate purchase, it will make your access level Subscriber (5) and allow you to rate skins and download subscriber skins from the subscriber resources page.

It will also give you access to the site without advertisements and allows you to view the galleries with 100 skins per page.
These, along with the subscriber skins, makes it well worth it.

You can be a Member of the community without subscribing.
Buying a Subscription to Object Desktop Ultimate does not get you a Subscription to WinCustomize.
Being a Subscriber to both Object Desktop Ultimate and WinCustomize brings you all kinds of benefits like subscriber skins to mention just one.
I think you get a Stardock,net account when you buy a product.
