Beta versions expire. Release versions never expire. Beta versions contain bugs solved by release versions. So Stardock is using this mechanism to ensure people use the stable version.

Just discovered Object Dock. Love it!!! Okay, I'm a little slow on the uptake 
My renewal for Object Desktop is about to expire. I will renew it but am in the middle of high moving expenses and can't renew it till July 1st (a week after it expires) Question: Will my Object Desktop still work? and if the Beta version expires will it not work until I renew my ODesktop? Sure hope that made sense!

At least twice, I've renewed after the expiration and everything still worked. I would imagine that if you have downloaded a beta product and it expires before you renew, you'd be out of luck. AFAIK, ObjectDock is not part of ObjectDesktop...it's free, so you should be able to continue downloading it even after your OD subscription expires.

Failing to renew your subscription to ODNT (Object Desktop) will NOT cause your software the stop working. It merely allows you to download program updates and entitles you to technical support for the next 12 months.

Thanks Orion, didn't think about the fact that ODock is a freebie from Stardock. Thanks, Tryzub would never do without my ODesktop at this stage.
