Activation maximum reached?........
Have I missed something?....
Tuesday, November 1, 2005 by Corky_O | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Any knowledge available on this one?
I have been testing WB5 beta on my desktop and notebook for the past couple of weeks, by installing the beta directly (no 4.6 pre-install).
I completed that testing, and moved on to installing 4.6 first, and then beta 5 for further testing, and the desktop installed and applied without issue.
The notebook on the other hand installed 4.6 and beta 5, including the "activation product" showing in the progress text toward the end of installation.
I rebooted the computer after both 4.6 and beta 5 install > loaded beta 5 > selected a skin > clicked "Apply this skin now" > received the two images below. Note - I tried this twice (once through router, once directly - all information is correct in text fields).
Any fixes for this one available, or am I SOL?
Will check back after work.

d h, I've merged your account records and you should be set. Your issue was a stardock.net account record under a different account than your product registrations.
Hashim, I expect your difficulty was the funky character in your nickname. Please try again and if it doesn't work, email \program files\sdcentral\activate.log to [email protected].

Hi, I'm getting that very same "Could not write the activation signature" message 
. It has happened several times, so I'm probably closing in on the activation limit as well 
. I have tried installing a few different ways (clean 4.6 then 5, 5 clean, reinstall 4.6 then 5, etc.) and no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

But I thought I'd go ahead and post a message here. Purchased Object Desktop and ObjectDock Plus tonight, and my email was being slow to receive the registration confirmation email so I set up an account with an alternate email address so I could sign in and get Stardock. When the original confirmation email got to me, I signed in with the account I used for the original purchase. Since above posts mention two accounts can cause a problem, I'm guessing this is why I'm having trouble. Ladies and gentlemen, once again my being impatient has only slowed me down.
I look forward to using this. Screenshots look purty.

Finally got around to trying the install again. I uninstalled WB 4.x, rebooted, installed WB 5.x, and rebooted. When WB 5 initially loaded I noticed that the activation window opened twice. I closed them both and the WB main window that opened after. Then I opened WB from the start menu and entered my registration. No problems this time around.
I thought the double activation window was a one time occurence when it happened on my desktop. I managed to make two or three attempts there before I noticed the other window underneath. Same thing happened on my laptop during this install. I closed them since it seemed that one may have locked open whatever file it was trying to write.
Just wanted to say thanks for the help.

kevinedw: Your Stardock.net account and registration info have been merged into one account. Please try activating again. You should not have a problem.

I will concur with your conclusion that you don't have forever to wait. The end of your days here on earth are going to come quickly in comparison. Thus, my advice would be to not wait. But how you should fill in the time of not waiting I'll leave up to you.

| i have only three computers which it was installed to |
I believe that's 1 more than the license is good for. In reality I think it's a desktop and a notebook or 1 office & 1 home etc. so that your only using 1 at a time.

YOU MAY:
1. Install and use one copy of the
SOFTWARE on a single computer.
2. Install a second copy of the SOFTWARE on a
second computer only if you are the main user of
this computer (home computer or laptop for
example).
3. Install the SOFTWARE on another computer only
if you change your main workstation. In such a case
you must uninstall the software from the old
computer.
4. Use the SOFTWARE via a network, only if you
have purchased an adequate number of licenses.
The number of users must not exceed the number of
licenses you have purchased.
5. Make a copy of the SOFTWARE for archival
purposes only.
