Offline Response Does Not Contain A Valid Licence

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Have you review your activation and see it has not reach max count. If it does, you will need to deactivate old activation first to clear up the activation slot. Try this guide: https://forums.stardock.com/486311/accounts-and-activation-support-faq#reviewactivations. Report back if this is not the issue.

Thanks

Thank you for the reply, I should have added that I do not have it installed anywhere else and double checked that before posting, thank you again. 

Just as a test if you try to activate using a pc that have internet connection does the activation work? You can deactivate it after the test is successful.

Thank you,

Yes, the laptop is online, the only reason I tried offline was the online kept failing.

There were server down issue but usually it will be back up after few moments. But, I am not sure if your issue is 100% not working all the time?

Thank you,

I have tried for 36hrs to register and that was pretty much 24/7 so it seems pretty much permanent. Firewall has been disabled and still no dice. Thank you for any suggestions.

Understood. Just to confirm. You have taken completely all the steps mentioned in this guide https://forums.stardock.com/486311/accounts-and-activation-support-faq#offlineactivation and you still fail to get Deskscape to activate? If all this true, than something else is going on, Account problem maybe.

Thank you Basj, I have submitted a ticket, cheers.

Bizarrely this has now registered, however, in order for it to work I first had to download, install and register Deskscapes 10. Then, and only then did it permit me to do an offline registration for Deskscapes 11.

I have cancelled my ticket and appraised them of the resolution, thank you for your help.

I have asked for the ticket to remain open, due to the following:

Sadly this only works for 10.x and 11.0.0 now refuses once again to register. I'll wait out for a response on the ticket and hope, cheers.
