[quote who="Uvah" reply="14" id="3083832"]Click on the link in reply #5. Go to the store and access your account. Everything is right there. Renew and its a done deal. All yours.[/quote] No, there are no options, at all, of any kind, to renew the subscription. Not on the product page, not on any page in my account. The only place any record of my purchase of those applications exists is in the "Order History". That too lacks any link or option to renew.

[quote who="Zubaz" reply="5" id="3083681"]From the Object Desktop page (stardock.com/products/odnt): A Year Of Free Updates When you purchase Object Desktop, you automatically get a 1-year subscription to ObjectDesktop.net and not only get all of the features Object Desktop has today, but all of the features for a full year.

I did. I see all of my games and ObjectDock, just none of the ObjectDesktop applications. I don't even see it in my transaction history.

[quote who="Zubaz" reply="2" id="3083669"]Object Desktop *is* a subscription service. During your subscription you can download, install, un-install, reinstall, back-up and restore to your heart's content. After the subscription is over you can continue using the software forever and restore your back-ups if you have them. However, you are not able to download after your subscription is over. Sorry. On the bright side, you can renew at a discount at

Confused - can't download/install in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

A little over a year ago I bought Object Desktop (although it isn't showing in my transaction history, but DOES show in Impulse). However, I didn't see the need to get the updates after the 'free' one year subscription period, so I didn't renew. Now I am unable to download/install any component of Object Desktop. Is this a glitch or am I not allowed to use the software I purchased because I didn't renew the subscription? Thanks!

Best way to learn? in War of Magic Stardock Forums

I just purchased Elemental this past weekend with the deal Stardock was offering and was excited to get started. Loaded up a custom game - rather than the campaign - and promptly got my butt handed to me (even on Beginner). Mostly I had no clue what I was doing. I've played a whole lot of 4x games in the past (starting from Civ 1 and every iteration after) and I'm just not sure where to go with this one. Other than reading all the FAQs and Guides online, what's the best way to actually figure

Reply to fences incompatibility? in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

[quote who="Dewie" reply="5" id="2810543"] I'm not aware of any plans. Fences and Deskscapes are listed as being compatible with Windows XP because individually they are. Unfortunately, I believe that XP simply lacks the API functions required to make this happen.[/quote] Here's my problem with that... Both Fences Pro and DeskScapes are sold bundled into Object Desktop, which is listed as being compatible with XP but there's no warning anywhere except the forums (after diggi

Reply to fences incompatibility? in DeskScapes Stardock Forums

[quote who="Dewie" reply="2" id="2697278"]There are known compatibility issues between Fences and Deskscapes on Windows XP. You should be fine if you are using Vista/7. Does stopping then starting explorer resolve the issue? Have you restarted your PC since the Deskscapes installation?[/quote] Are there any plans to actually FIX those 'known compatibility issues'? Seriously, I have no intention of upgrading to Win7 and these 'issues' weren't exactly listed on the Object Desktop page.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="1" id="2331474"]1. Not sure what you mean by "get rid of". [/quote] Just to clarify, though the question was answered, by 'get rid of' I meant 'remove the tabbed dock'. Just my preference, but I don't like the tabbed docks as much as I do the 'zoomers'. [quote who="DrJBHL" reply="1" id="2331474"]4. Uninstall it using "Impulse". Then install using "Impulse".

Assistance with ObjectDock in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

First of all, apologies if any/most of this has been answered elsewhere - I'm rather under the weather and too lazy to do a proper search. 1) I've got OD+ but would really like to get rid of the tabbed dock but don't see that option - am I just blind (possible, I admit) or do I have to edit a file somewhere? 2) Is it possible to have two docks along the same side of the display - so 1 dock in the upper left, 1 in the upper right? 3) Besides WinCustomize, are there
