When you state "multiple OSes", SD software will only work on Windows.

You can use CFX on your home machines, desktop and laptop. You may not distribute it to others, and whether you can use it on a business machine (your place of employment or laptop if you travel on business) depends on the policy your IT Dep't. has regarding installation of third party software.

VMs...multi-boots, etc should all be recognized as the same machine....ergo as many as you wish.  Between my host, 4 VirtualBoxes and 5 in VMWare I have no issues....

You are allowed to use it on All your Personal machines Doc already stated

This is the EULA for our software:

https://www.stardock.com/support/software_eula.aspx

First, an apology to the OP for going off in his thread. That was not my usual style, nor the behavior I am known for here at WinCustomize. As a newish member, you deserved better from me.

Second, one to ID for assuming the worst from his initial statement and not asking for clarification before I made an ass of myself.

Third, an apology to Stardock for not giving them the benefit of the doubt, trusting them to uphold a previous EULA and again, not asking for an explanation first.

I blame fatigue and old age.....been working so far........

Carry on.

(And a thanks to Jafo for the "enlightenment")........

If this is saying that the user will not get updates on an expired subscription until the subscription is renewed then it could of been written much clearer. 

I'll need to clarify further, but I'm pretty sure this is in relation to the new subscription plan coming.

This would be to prevent someone from subscribing for one month and having unlimited access to apps if they don't resubscribe.

It has always been, and I'm sure always will be, that we can continue to use any software we have purchased (provided we have archives), but can no longer get updates for software that has an expired subscription.

To say that if my subscription expires, I can no longer even use what I have already paid for, for the last ten years, would be ludicrous.

I'm certain that that is not what is being said here.

I'm also sure that someone will clarify this soon.

This:

Is a clear invitation for cracked/stolen software. Which I'm sure will happen if the quoted text is actually coming policy. Talk about alienating your customers....geez.

I'm sure Stardock isn't that stupid and this is being misinterpreted. 

I know that it's just one way and I still meant that infinity subscription. I dunno how it was before in the eula, but if you just dont recieve any updates when you cancel object desktop standard but you can keep your software that was in it at the time before your sub went out, then it should be honored...

I'm sure that will continue to be the case, provided that you kept installers for what you paid for. Always has worked that way, and as I said, i'm paid up thru 2016, so they'll have to honor the eula that existed when I purchased.

Stardock isn't stupid and they don't want to alienate a huge bunch of long time customers.

*Wizard1956 retires to a corner and swaps out his pointy Wizard hat for a Dunce cap.

The blame for that falls squarely upon me.   I also apologize to all my fellow members for dragging them through my B.S.

I know that CFX is standalone. I was just directly responding to the one above me who freaked out that his software could disappear in object desktop.

I just dont feel the need to quote the person directly over me which is, btw, forbidden in some forums, because unessecary clutter, loading times (especially when browing from phone) and used database space.
