Although Start11 and Deskscapes 11 are still in the Beta stages, you would expect a company that has gone down the activation route to at least have any issues with activation ironed out as a priority.
I then tried the email address in my confirmation email which was fs-sales, I received precisely the same response directing me to the forums, which would suggest they are a part of Stardock. Instead of getting the 1 year support claimed and this is just over a week since purchase now, all I received was an automated message which stated a support ticket had not been created and directing me to use the forums.
Due to the activation issues, I decided to contact the Stardock support email address so they could confirm that my activation key was legal and that I could install the Object Desktop products on 5 PCs, I wanted to know if it was legal because the confirmation email said I had purchased through an authorised seller known as Faststone and because the EULA said it could only be installed on 1 PC. The page I just mentioned still states 5 active PCs so I have done a screenshot just in case of issues. I tried looking for the issue on the Stardock forums, which is where I saw posts regarding the 5 PC installs and it was stated this was no longer allowed under the EULA with a link to it, which confirmed what had been said.
This issue occured even worse when installing the Object Desktop Manager software. However, since installing and only on one PC so far, Start11 and Dreamscapes have more than once asked to be activated.
It stated that the software could be used on 5 active PCs with the exception of Multiplicity which was limited to 2. I recently browsed the Stardock website and was interested in getting Fences, when I clicked on "Get it now", Object Desktop was suggested as the best deal. The one star is basically because I enjoy the eye candy the software provides to a PC, however, four stars are knocked off for the non existent company support for dealing with issues.
