Unable to activate Fences Pro on new laptop

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

I have a new laptop and installed my version of Fences Pro (1.10.419).  Initially I had an issue activating but after reading on the support site that the activation url had changed, I activated it OK.

 

I then had an issue with not being able to move my desktop icons, so i uninstalled to see if this was the issue. It could have been the auto-arrange settings on the desktop and I then reinstalled. I went thru the activation again but this time it says I have hit my limit of activations.

The software has only ever been used on a single laptop, so please can you allow an actiavtion on my new machine?

Many thanks,

Chris.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try to use this steps to deactivate old activation, so you can activate again.

It is because Fences 1 is so old.  I have reset it manually.

Hi,

 

Thanks for enabling the activation. I managed to activate the software but the same issue I experienced forst of all happened again (no longer able to move any of the desktop icons).

My new laptop is tunning Windows 10. Any ideas or will I need to upgrade to a later version?

You would need Fences 3.

You can get the upgrade at a discount here (bottom of page):
