All the rants and raves I can think of?
Published on August 31, 2009 By mickeko In Fences

I'm getting a notification by fences stating:

 

As noted during download (uh... no, it wasn't noted anywhere I could see ), this community preview beta of Fences was set to expire on November 1st 2009...

Need more update

Oh, I got an update notification, and I installed it, but it didn't do any good. Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling again just in case.

It's called a nag-screen
It occurs every boot-up (and maybe per login as well?)


Please Stardock, fix this ASAP.

It's very annoying...

ah v0.99 is out, will check to if this fixes this issue...
If not I'll post it here

NOPE! v0.99 nags at boot
Also when you open fences...

I guess I'll set my computers clock back untill this is resolved.

Same problem, Installed last version, but every boot or Fences start I had the message that the beta is supposed to been expired the first of November. Maybe is the day you choose....

Same problem here also and this is a new install.  Says it will expire November 2009 and will now run in reduced functionality.

Yep. Yesterday I did a Fences update through Impulse.

Today I booted up and got the reminder screen mentioned above. Went to labs.stardock.com and downloaded, rebooted and got the same reminder screen all over again.

What's up?

I get the following notification with v0.99 as well when updated through Impulse on system startup-

Fences should continue to function though.

What version are you using?

 

Was using 0.98.  Got the update/expiry notice today (though the message indicates November 1, so the notice text is wrong as well), updated to 0.99 and rebooted.  Got the notice again.

Issues:

1) Notification appears to be two months too early.

2) Notification indicates updating will resolve the issue.  After updating, and rebooting, the notification continues to appear.

3) Unlike OldMsgt's post indicates, my notification path indicates http://labs.stardock.com/Fences has the latest version.

4) Impulse client has link for Fences "History", which normally contains patch notes.  The information there is out-dated.  This also makes it difficult to confirm whether or not I did actually get a full and proper installation of 0.99.

Bug identified and resolution pending.  It should not effect the application itself though.
