I started coding in 1982. I have developed software protection and license schemes for Windows beginning with Windows 3.1, through all the 32bit iterations up to XP. I am VERY familiar with the Windows system and registry. I am not paranoid. I am not a newb. I am not stupid. I simply do not want to install a download nanny/license nazi on my computer. That is my choice. There was nothing express or implied at the time of pur

Not freaking out. I simply don't want it. It was not stated up front that I would be required to install a download/license nanny to be able to even access the software I purchased. There isn't anything to get over. I don't want SDC, I want the software I bought. It's pretty simple.

I just purchased Object Desktop. When I received the order confirmation, it contained a download link for Stardock Central. That is not what I ordered and I don't want to install this so that I can use the software I purchased. I didn't agree to this prior to purchase and I won't do it. I want the software I paid for. Where can I download Object Desktop?
