Upgrade from older Windows Blinds 4.5 to the newest Object Desktop 5?

from Stardock Forums
Hi - i have the older windows blinds. I saw the link to upgrade to the full object desktop from here

https://www.stardock.com/products/odnt/odnt-upgrade.asp

My question is if i use this link to upgrade my older WB 4.5 will it just upgrade to object desktop for older versions? Or will i get all new versions of the suites, including WB 5.0? EG. I don't want to use the link if it just keeps the older WB version but upgrades/adds to new everything else.

You'll get access to all Object Desktop programs. WindowBlinds is one of those programs.

Thanks for the reply, what i really want to know is will i get the newer version of windows blinds if i use that link. In other words i don't want to just "upgrade" to the suite - i want all new versions (including and upgrade to WB 5.0) since i have the older version of windows blinds (4.5) now. it doesn't specify that it will upgrade any exising version of windows blinds - all it says is that it will upgrade your WB to object desktop.

I already know that if i were to pay 49.95 i would get all new versions of everything - but what i want is the discount price of $34.95 since i already own the older copy of windows blinds, but not just an upgrade to the suite with my older verions - i want all new versions of the applications.

If/when you go for it, uninstall your version of WB - download and install SDC {Stardock Central} (you will get a link with the email) register your ODNT serial in SDC, and use SDC to download and install the NEW versions. With ODNT you also get to try out th betas. SDC also has an autoarchive feature you can turn on to make it a lot easier to rollback from a beta version if you want.
