So my ODNT expired...

Published on March 26, 2005 By kona0197 In Object Desktop

But I was told once that once you get ODNT the apps are yours to keep. So how do I go about getting WB back on my system? SDC will not let me DL the enhanced versions!

There was a statement with the sale telling the customer that he or she is responsible for backing up the programs and skins.

The archive is kept in the Stardock Central backup folder. The program should still allow you to use "File>Restore Archive" function.

"Restore Archive" dosen't work when you have to reinstall XP without backing stuff up...

It is strongly recommended that you make a backup of all files
downloaded in case you need to reinstall the software at a later
date. By making a backup now you will cut down on the support
burden of our staff, as well as ensuring your peace of mind.
Thank you.

OD is a subscription service. As you are not longer a subscriber, you cannot download the software. You need to either restore from backup or purchase a subscription.

People who don't backup files etc can't expect much sympathy. The whole Stardock folder on mine will fit on one CD. You know it makes sense

It was an emergency re-install of windows Fuzzy - I couldn't save anything. I do remember Brad saying something about you get to keep the programs once purchjased no matter what. Guess I didn't read the fine print.

Off to hack the uxtheme.dll - can't stand unskinned XP.

Why don't you update your subscription?

I have no credit card and honestly no money.

Yep......You should have access to the latest release. (I still get a link to WB version 1.x)

I tried that - no links to latest WB...

But I had ODNT not WB by itself...

Just a thought: Do you have SDC set to show betas?
