Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try this. Uninstall Groupy 2. Reboot immediately after uninstall is done (important). Re-download the latest version from your account page. Install it, reboot immediately again. Retest and report back.

Hi,

Thanks, I'll try to do suggested flow and will reply to you.

But i have another issue with my account and I can't download version from here.

First i purchased license and don't have account.
After this I decided to create account and used my FB account. For some reason your systam took name and Surname of my frend and not my details. After this I'm tried to change these details, your system saying that verification mail is sent, but I don't recieve anything. Also can't assign my license key to my account and haave only option to pay for the license and not just download.

Can you help me to resolve this issue too in praralel to activation problem?

Best Regards,

Leonid

Hi,
Ok. then I'll send the ticket related to the account after resolve ing this one.
Is it OK to take the version downloaded from Windows 11 and install it on Windows 10 Pro?

Thanks,

Leonid

Groupy V2.X should work without issue with Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Thank you,

Hi,
I unsintalled the version, reboot machine, installed it again, reboot machine and after this launched Groupy 2.
First i see the popup where you asked to start Groupy (see groupy1.jpg) and when i slelcted Yes option, I see next popup with uninstall (see groupy2.jpg)
So, nothing is changed. I have same issue again like it was before.

Something wrong with this application.

Leonid

Conflicting with other 3rd party app, maybe. Please try, cleanboot: https://forums.stardock.com/488142/groupy-support-faq#cleanboot.

Also,

Are you running ARM base CPU?

Thank you,

Basj,

I'm using Intel i7 CPU.

I not sure that will take a risk and make clean reboot by disabling all services. This is my work machine and I don't want to create more serious issues.

I'll try to perform Groupy purging and re-installing steps and test again.

But anyway, you must know from your application behaviour, why it is asking me for unstalling after install and why I can't provide purchased key in order to actvate this product.

Please check from your side as well, why this flow happens and not ask me to do the changes in Windows, which may help or not to resolve this issue.

Leonid

Please try this first:

Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time. A "Run" dialog box will pop up, please paste the path below into the "Open" field and press OK:

In the folder that pops up, you should see a folder named Groupy2 . Please delete this folder and all of its contents.

After you have deleted that folder, please attempt to activate it once again and it should succeed without any errors.

I open this folder (Group2. but it was empty without any without any other folders and files.

I deleted it anyway and run application again.

The same flow was received: popup with application and and after this popup with uninstall.

BTW I even tried to run the application as an administrator - result is same.

Maybe I need to add/remove/change some registry fileds here or specify activation key in other way?

Leonid

Do you have a folder name "Groupy"? If you do, try delete that one, try reactivate again. See if that help.

Thank you,

Basj,

I already wrote in previous posts – I have empty Groupy folder.

I deleted it and run application again.

The result was same – two popups and last one with uninstall option.

This does not help.

Leonid

No, you said you have Groupy2 not Groupy. Anyway, if that don't work. Please do try the cleanboot.

Thank you,

Basj,

If cleanboot is a last option, it will take a time, becasue i can't do this on work machine now.

You seem to have emailed [email protected] (auto reply only and closed immediately) and not used the link bask provided you:

I have replied to your ticket as I cant even begin to understand how your account became as messed up as it is.

Sean Drohan
Stardock Product Lifecycle Manager

Hi Sean,

I can't install Windows 11, because my workstation can't recieve Windows 11 (hardware limitation).
Regarding messed data in my account, I'll open new ticket later when current problem will be resolved.

Since the last suggested option is cleanboot, I'm not sure that will do it, because this is my work machine and I'd not want to create more serious issue.

Maybe you have another solution for application activation?

Leonid

I have responded to your initial ticket.

Sean Drohan
Stardock Product Lifecycle Manager

Hi Sean,

I tried now to launch the application again and recieved two popups again. Nothing changed and I can't activate the product.

Leonid

Hi Sean,

I responded in other ticket too

Leonid

That is the only place to continue work on this.

Sean Drohan
Stardock Product Lifecycle Manager

Hi Sean,

Let's select this ticket in order to investigate the activation issue.

Do you have some solution for my issue.

I see that this is endless story without any solution for the activation issue.
