Product Registrations and You!

How to get the Stardock software you paid for.

Greetings, friends!

We've been getting a lot of questions about how to download and install your Stardock software purchases from both the past and present (and future, too, I guess).  Well, here's the skinny on that.  Get it?  'Skin'ny?  *sigh*

Anyway, at the moment we are in a transition period.  Specifically, we are transitioning away from Impulse being your main download and update method.  Going forward, you can access all of your registrations and download links for Stardock software by logging in here:

https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products

This will give you a list of everything that is on your account, along with your serial numbers and installer download links.  That's right, download links directly to the latest stable version of the software.  Let's all pause to let that sink in.

...

Ok, then.  Each application should prompt for activation the first time, just type your email address, and copy/paste from the page into the window, and you should be all set.

As always, keep in mind that trial versions of our software are not upgradable to the full versions by entering a product key, and they must be uninstalled and the PC rebooted before installing the full version of any program.

Common issues:

"I don't see [program name] listed, what happened to it?"

If you have registrations on more than one email address, you'll need to get them on the same account.  If you have access to both email addresses, you can merge them together here:

https://www.stardock.com/support/registrations/

If you don't have access to both, send an email to [email protected] with an order or serial number, or billing address for verification, and we'll merge them together for you.

"I just renewed my Object Desktop subscription, and Impulse still says it's expired!"

Because Impulse is now owned by Gamestop, your renewal only affects the Stardock side of things, so Impulse can't know that you've renewed.  You will need to use the new download page to access the software.

"What about my games?"

If you've purchased any Stardock gaming titles (GalCivII, Sins, Demigod, Elemental), those will still be handled through Impulse.  This site is for non-gaming software only.

"What about [problem that I haven't thought of yet]?"

Either post it here, or email [email protected] for assistance.  If you're posting here, try to avoid posting things like serial numbers or personal email addresses.

Jafo is in bed...lol.

I started to, but is it worth it?

I am obsessive/compulsive. It takes a lot of self restraint to leave that kinda stuff alone. I realize that some take it as me being a smart ass. OCD is real, and I'm the poster child...lol.

DisturbedComputer: I'm sorry I missed your post, but I'm only one man.  :/  I had someone take a look at it, and they fixed a few issues.  Here's as much as I can give you about your list:

Stardock Central Component Manager - You can safely ignore this.  You have a registration on your account for it, so it shows up.  It will most likely be removed soon.
Object Desktop (S) upgrade/renewal with ObjectDock Plus - Ignore the link, it's just a record that you have a registration on your account.
Object Desktop - Ignore the link, it's just a record that you have a registration on your account.
Object Desktop Renewal (1 year) - Ignore the link, it's just a record that you have a registration on your account.
Object Desktop Ultimate (Upgrade) - Ignore the link, it's just a record that you have a registration on your account.
IconX 1.10 - Works for me.
RightClick 1.20 - Works for me.
SkinStudio Professional 5.01 - Works for me.

Sorry, copy/pasta error.  That one has a valid link, but only if you purchased it (which he didn't).  Updated my previous post.

All appears ok here too, now.

/me got his beloved RightClick secured! :') \o/

The world is now a safe place to live in, once again....

Tweak7 and TweakVista point to the same file, Tweak7_enhanced_setup.exe 5,200,352bytes.  Is that right?

Otherwise looking good, thanks Rosco!

(I presume DriveScan, ObjectZip, Object Desktop Launchpad are discontinued no longer available.)

Question.....it appears that all the MyColors themes require to install MyColors. Do we install MyColors for each and every theme? Is that a tad redundant and is it gonna wreak havoc with my registry?

Whether it works on all systems or not is not the issue.  MyColors is not used anymore, but the links are still available.

Yes, the installer detects what OS you're using, and installs the correct version.

Correct.

You only need to install the MyColors program once.  To install other themes, just register those themes in MyColors, and install them from there.

This is actually a bug in Impulse.  For some reason it couldn't tell the difference between Standard and Pro, so if you installed Standard, it also showed Pro installed.  Annoying, I know, but there you have it.  If you didn't specifically purchase Pro at any point, then you only had Standard, as that's what comes with Object Desktop.

Correct, GalCiv is Stardock, Bullet Candy is 3rd party.
