Fences 5 Keeps Notifying that My License Has Expired

from Stardock Forums

My Fences 5 license is good until January 2025. I'm getting notifications over and over that my license has expired. When I enter my activation code, it reports that Fences 5 has been activated. A couple of minutes later, the expiration notification reappears.

I deactivated and reactivated Fences 5.  Every time I create a new folder on the desktop, the same notification appears, that my subscription has expired. It hasn't expired and has 9 months left. I also redownloaded and reinstalled Fences 5. The notifications still reappear.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Your issue is on license expired or just simply asking for re-activation?

Thanks

What finally worked for me was a complete uninstall, a shutdown, a restart, download most recent version of Fences 5 and reactivation. I did the uninstall using the Windows 10 Settings, opening  Control Panel, opening Programs and Features and uninstalling Stardock Fences 5. I'm not certain about all of these steps in Windows 11.

it's telling me my license has expired and i need to either enter teh product key or purchase a new product key - it's only a recent purchase. Last the last 2 months, my Stardock account says it's all up to date. de-activated and reactivating doesn't seem to work either.
