Just curious.

I've been away from things the last year or so, due to family issues and being pretty sick myself, and so just now decided to renew my Object Desktop and Wincustomize subscriptions.

The wincustomize subscription renewal completed immediately, with no issues, but I got some sort of error / informational message from the Object Desktop renewal. Don't remember the text of the error offhand, it was something like, 'we'll be in contact', or words to that effect (as a side note, I was still actually charged (pending) for the renewal).

What's the deal here? Are you manually approving / disapproving the purchase of Object Desktop subscriptions? If so, why charge my account before  said approval?

And, why would the Wincustomize subscription take immediately, but I then get forced to wait for the Object Desktop sub?

It just seems kind of odd, that's all. I tend to figure that when I buy something, and then get charged for it, I then get access to that 'something'.

So, what's up?

Hey, Aleatoric...sorry to hear you were ill, but glad to see you back.

You should dash off an email to support@stardock.com. If you got a receipt or anything like that, attach it to the email along with the url of this thread. Sometimes problems pop up with different payment methods...generally to protect 'you' (the real Aleatoric) and SD from 'no goodnicks'.

I've noted the url and will try to get someone from support to take a peek. If I don't succeed, just remember...it's Friday and the Labor Day weekend to boot...so it might take a bit to get back to you. *Hoping I'm wrong.*

Cool, thanks.

I wasn't horribly worried about it, this *is* Stardock, after all, it just seemed kind of odd.

Memorial Day weekend to boot

That could be a problem, I've been time travelling again?

Crap...I meant Labor Day. Was copying your post's link to forward to Support. Ah well.
