Not sure what needs to be renewed

Saturday, March 5, 2005 by Sleeping Dragon | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

About a year ago, I bought a subscription to Stardock, WC, bought Objectdock plus, Object desktop, and I don't know what else. Could an admin tell me what needs to be renewed, so nothing lapses or point to me to where I can find it and how to renew?

Open up SDC, go to Tools>Register products. There it will say the date things that expire will expire.

I have SDC, registered versions of WB and IP, cannot get expire info, is this only a function if you have OD.
All SDC wants to do is register when select WB or IP from drop down list, I have already done this, renew? button
is not active.

Only subscriptions expire, so only those have that info. That is to say, you only see the expiration info for Object Desktop subscription, WC subscription and TotalGaming.net subscriptions. Other products are good for the life of that particular development cycle (as far as I understand). That is to say if you bough WB and IP you will get all the updates until the next major version update (eg WB version 5 or something). However, always important to remember, even though you no longer get updates, or the subscription expires, you still always have the programs you purchased, just not the newer updates.

Thanks BlueDev, I understand, was checking to see when the one year I have as current customer expires, I bought IP
last so would be one year from then, lost copy of my invoice so not sure when I purchased it, any ideas how to get
this info.

I don't think the date matters. With the stand-alone programs version number is what matters. For example I bought Object Dock Plus. So I am entitled to all upgrades to the program until it becomes version 2. Same with Natural Desktop. I get the updates until it hits version 2. Probably the same with IP and WB. The date isn't important. You will continue to get updates until the next version change (they release WB 5 or IP 3). Someone can correct me, but I think that is how it works.

Yes I think you are correct about updates, but one year is for user level as current customer, at the point in time
