ordering for the program

Can you change the quantity to 1?

Yes but it's 2 different peace's

1 full and 1 upgrade (prices)

so I think that I really need the full version to install the upgrade

You should be able to remove 1 of them, the full one not the upgrade, to get it at the correct price.

I have payed. Now I have in my downloads this

Object Desktop Upgrade (from Standalone) - Expires in 363 days

Does that mean that the program can't be installed after 1 year and or that it will not work after a year?

 I also can't install theme seperatly

Is  Stardock not part of the complete package?

If you let your subscription expire, the programs will still work. However, you will need to download and keep the install files as you won't be able to download any updates from your downloads page after that time.

I'm not sure about the second part of your questions.  What theme?  

That's correct, after the year is up the subscription expires and you would no longer receive updates to the software. You'd also be unable to download the software after your sub lapses. The software will still work, but if you need to reinstall, you would be unable to activate.

Install theme for what application?

Object Dock is not a part of an OD sub.

One would think I would know all about this after 7 years here and have never let my sub run out. However now I'm not sure and have to ask. 

I thought if you had your programs downloaded along with the serial numbers they would always work. I know if your sub runs out you can't download from the store or manager. What I did believe is if you did let your sub go and say you get a new computer or just format the one you have you could install the latest version one saved put in your serial number and it would work. 

What you are saying is you can install it but it won't activate. If it won't activate it I can't see how it will work. You can install many outside programs that you purchased but in order for them to work or activate you have to put in the serial number. Please advise what I'm missing here?

DaveBax - Sorry, I mis-typed, your program will still activate, that is correct. If you downloaded the latest version and attempted to use your serial key, it will not work.

Thank you for your reply.
