Start8 Maximum Activations
Friday, May 24, 2013 by shell80 | Discussion: Stardock Central Support
I have been testing a lot of Win 8 PC's lately and I always install Start8 and when I format and reinstall Windows I thought it would have known I had already activated Start8 previously, but it now says I have activated it too many times, can I have it reset?
Thanks
Michelle

I have sent a ticket yesterday, but had no reply. My query is about the activation limit of my start8 product. I recently reformatted my PC and start8 won't let activate the product due maximum limit reached on activation.
Could you reset this.
Many thanks

We have responded to your tickets. In the future, placing one is sufficient to resolve max activation issues; forum post are not necessary.

It is the weekend here now and support are off until Monday morning. Unless a support tech happens to check the forums you will most likely have to wait until Monday to have your activation count reset.

I'm having the same problem... sent in a support ticket. Is there a way to deactivate start8 before you format a computer?
Thanks!

Same problem here mate, too many test installs without the ability to deactivate before wipe... Maybe plan on adding in a deauthorize computer option like in itunes..
Thanks
