Oh sorry about that - I formatted and reinstalled Windows without realizing I was out of activations on my Window Blinds program.

You can install WB any number of times on your main computer, and the one you, say, travel with...i.e. your work (main) computer and your other one.
If you installed WB7 while being entitled to 6.x, then you're using trialware and it'll time out in 30 days. Best advice? Re-up your sub. You'll be able to plug those new numbers in and you're up and running and won't 'time-out" and won't have to go thru the rigamarole of uninstalling/reboot/reinstall/reboot. Also, I'd advise using Impulse.
On the other hand, if you don't wish to re=up your sub, you're still entitled to the last version around while your old sub was active. In that case write to stardock sales and get a link to that version.
Hope this helped.

Doc, you are still limited to the total number of times you can reactivate without help from support to reset your activiations

Thank you Philly0381 - @DrJBHL, no it isn't version 7, it is version 6. Thanks, if no one gets here based on Philly's post, I will contact support.

Contact [email protected] mitchie323.
You'll need that special link to get the version you're entitiled to...but I'd recommend WB7 subscription if your machine/OS can work with it.
@Philly...thanx bro...didn't know that one.

mitche323: It looks like your activations have been reset. Just following-up on that.
In regards to the activation limitation, yes, there is one in place (given the amount of time), but 98% of legitimate customers will never even knew it existed. For those that do run into it, I believe it actually asks for you to contact [email protected]. Whether posting here, finding someone in irc or sending in an email, all methods are sure ways to get that reset.

Mitchie323, I would like to help you, but the nature of the problem isn't apparant from the sparse info you've posted. Could you explain the problem and how it came about?
