Licence & activation
Thursday, December 26, 2024 by charlene | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hi,
I have 1 WB licence activated on a windows 10 desktop.
I've decided to test windows11 so did a partition then installed windows11. Upon activating WB I get "already activated". What is that move ? licence per seat à la microsoft ? Come on...

You can check how many activation under your license by checking your account product page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Go to Windowblinds 11 box and click on the "..." button, refer screenshot below.

Once you click the button, you will get something like screenshot below. Check the current activation count and available activation count under your account. If you have 5 licenses. It should mentioned 5 in there.

Refer here for more on how to manage your activation: https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1260191763/How+to+review+and+manage+your+current+activations

Ah wonderful. Thanks so much for the reply. I'm looking forward to upgrade. I really appreciate Stardock for continuing innovating their software products. I personally depend on their software when customizing windows. Really gives a different touch and changes my work place environment. I have been customizing windows since Vista to current.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Not sure on how many WB licenses you have under your account? If you only have one, than you will need another license for your second system. Even that system is on the same computer. It is the same, whether you are adding another secondary boot or you create another Virtual Machine in that same Computer, you will need to have individual license for it. You can deactivate the other system license and activate on the other one.
Thank you.
