A question about iconpackager...
Wednesday, May 19, 2004 by helenangel | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Well, when I became a subscriber I had the opportunity to download a couple of iconpackager sets...not any more...why did this happen and why did I also lose the ones I had downloaded????
Besides the skins and cursors available for downloading what else is given to the subscribers?? and what about the suites that were supposed to be offered for free to us?? I mean the ones that were offered as a gift ....

Grrr, I did for just a minute. I was trying to look at one of the painting in the larger format and got locked out again. From what I saw he was a truly gifted human!!

Hi Helen....I finally got to see some of George's work. I very much like the Stormy Sea painting it is very powerful. I tried to go to the second page you've created for George, but got locked out as well.

I like George''s work. I really wanted to see closer looks at the church (?) with some tumbledown walls (?) in the foreground and REALLY wanted to get a closer look at "the hug" in the clouds.
Alas, the server (on one end or the other) went down and I couldn''t get back. Will try again soon.
I guess you subscribed but only DL`d a few Icon Packs in the 2 years of the subscription ? Or is your subscription still in effect ? I do recall the IconPack library was down several days sometime in the last few weeks.
I can''t venture a guess why you lost your IconPacks but I will point out that I believe you can lift the DL limitation (for 1 year) by buying even the most inexpensive Stardock program and then cross-referencing your Stardock account to here.
As far as fairness, I got so "turned on" by this stuff that I didn''t mind coughing up the $20 which I know has different values for different people. It has to cost something to run this site and I all I can say is that it''s a very good value for me.
Best Regards.

dear crofttk, I'm so glad you liked my husband's art...His churches are really something...I wish I could offer you more...
As far as my subscription ...I am a new scbscriber and as I told you I had managed to download two icon sets...well,they are gone and no more downloading is permitted.as concerns the two suites that are offered to us, I downloaded them but I could not install them ..tried and tried... but nothing..so I gave up....
I absolutely agree with you about this site...it is an amazing site with faboulous authors that offers us amazing things....I quite agree that it costs us nothing and we have as many skins we desire...the pc general icon has changed so beautifully with all those goodies that wincustomize gives us...
So, have a great day my friend.....

Reading between the lines, I think perhaps Helen is referring to the icon packages which were available as "extras" on a few occasions through SDC for Object Desktop subscribers. For a time they were listed immediately below the IconPackager line on the Software tab of SDC, but are no longer there. Are those the packages you mean, Helen?

Helen,
Did you buy IconPackager or any other software from Stardock or are you using the free versions of the programs?
If you bought the programs from Stardock, then you used SDC, which means Stardock Central, to download the programs from Stardock. Stardock Central is also what you should use to download updates for the programs.
To answer your question about why your icon packages you downloaded do not work anymore, we first need to know what version of Icon Packager you are using, and what happens when you try to use those icon packages.

A WC subscription gives you unlimited downloads of skins/icons/themes here at WC. It doesn't extend the trial period of any of the shareware programs. It sounds like your IconPackager trial period has ended.

ok...but I think that all the downloads before the end of trial period, should be permanent....
