Start10 Activation Woes

October 19, 2019 5:49 PM from

I recently reinstalled windows 10 Pro from scratch (Version 1903, build 18362.418). When I download a copy of Start10 from the Stardock website and run it, it seems to install fine. After a reboot I get the following message: "This product is not activated on this computer. Would you like to unistall this product?"

What is this and how can I activate Start10? What am I doing wrong?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try the purge and reinstall steps : https://forums.stardock.com/486022/start10-support-faq#reinstalling

Just make sure to re-download the latest version from your account. Reboot after the purge. Reinstall after the purge reboot. Reboot again after the install. Retest if you can activate it now. Report back.

Thanks
