No, not a new license, you just need to renew your Object Desktop subscription. For your renewal you'll get 1 additional year of program updates to all of the Object Desktop package. When I renewed for just $40 last December, I thought it was a real bargain. I still do.  Renewing your subscription is easy, just run Stardock Central click on Object Desktop in the left panel then click on Tools and Register Products from the SDC menu. Once you've pulled up the Register Products menu you should see the renew subscription selection for Object Desktop.

Yea, if it's ran out, I think they give you a little time to renew, and it's about time for me to renew.

The renewal price is $34.95, I got mine for $24.95 because they had a $10 coupon going on. I'm not sure if there is a time limit on the discount renewal price. But you can archive your applications and then install them on Vista, you'll have the latest builds up until your subscription ran out.

Thanks Bebi. I think you're right the subscription renewal price is $35 not $40.

 not sure about that, but it seems they should.
except for the apps specifically for Vista (which it SDC won't let me download unit I have Vista) the others that are in the vista compatibility list should work

If the program is currently Vista supported then you shouldn't have a problem.  But remember you won't get any updates or new programs that are Vista compatible if your subscription is expired.  The price to renew is $35 and you will get the updates and any new Object Desktop programs for that year.
