LAME

From info in another thread, there have been problems with download limits being inaccurately applied due to a glitch at times.  No scam, no need to assume one & no need to launch a silly rant.  Please post the specifics in this thread and someone should be able to help you.

Dreams are large files, the download limit of a non subscriber is met quickly when downloading dreams.  You should subscribe.

People would like to help you, so it would be advisable not to attack Stardock on this site. That's one quick way to get shown the door.

To correct a misimpression: You have a license to use the software and get updates for one year. You DO NOT have a subscription to this website. That is a separate subscription.

I believe you have a limit of 20Mb of download. I could be wrong.

Daiwa is correct. You probably got the message by error. Contact [email protected] to address the problem. Or not. Your choice. I would suggest altering your approach, and gaining control over your emotions before they prove to be your undoing here.

It IS a 'lifetime licence'.  That is for the product....the application itself.

The skins/graphics themselves belong to other people and their distribution has its own costs.

This is no different from the purchase of a Record player NOT coming with a lifetime of included FREE records.

You are not even being asked to PURCHASE each and every single record, but merely a SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE during which time you can freely obtain as many [or as few] records as you wish.

How is that a 'scam'?

Well said Paul.

Just another rude noob who got his undies in a bunch.

You are not showing as a current customer, that is why the site is telling you this.  

Log-off WinCustomize, completely clear your browsers cache and cookies, and login again.

As long as your profile shows you as a current customer, you were allowed unlimited access to download from WinCustomize.

This is addressed in this post.

gmg12345678 profile shows him to be a "Current Customer" so he should have access.

Edit: that's odd, ID's post says he's not a current customer.

CG... "Current Customer" in his case probably refers to the software, not WC sub.

If someone is a current customer, as if someone has a current ODNT sub, then they do get unlimited downloads from WC as long as it is active.

If clearing the cache from WC doesn't work, I would suggesting sending an e-mail to [email protected].

I don't presume to be a mod or anything, but it seems to me you guys may be confusing the issue.

Here is what I see.

I'm a subscriber.

He is not.

 He even said as much in the OP.

Now, if I'm confused please straighten me out...lol.

Said the Curly Fry

Jim I do believe as a SD customer with a current subscription, you are entitled to Access WC for skins, tho you will see ad's and not be able to download the premium Subscriber content. If that is the case it would most likely be a cookie issue.

Level 4 is a SD customer IE window blinds Object desktop etc..

a level5 is a WC subscriber, they get the same as a SD subscriber, but all the perks of a WC subscriber.

OK, I'm still confused, but that would be a normal state for a redneck....

OK, my question, HG, is this.

Do you need to be a WC subscriber to get unlimited downloads?

Doesn't appear he's interested in much other than ranting, but I hope he gets it sorted out if he returns, since Dreams are nice & I wish I could run them on my rig.  They won't for unknown technical reasons, which is why I'm on here posting so much about being ripped off.

So, by what you're saying, my 3rd pic (bottom) is inaccurate?

RD, I think both OD subscribers and WC subscribers are unlimited, if I understand ID correctly.  Corollary - if you purchased a standalone app, you would need to be a WC subscriber to have unlimited D/L's, which might explain your 3rd pic.

Jim, I believe that would be accurate for non subscribers to either WC or SD apps or those whose subscriptions have lapsed.

Let me Clairify,

SD  customer with "current" subscription to a SD app = unlimited downloads.

WC subscriber = Unlimited downloads and subscriber skins, no ad's etc.

non subscriber, or subscriber whose sub has expired, = Download cap. Would need Pic number 3's option to continue to access WC libraries.

OK, I am longer confused, or am I?    No, I'm not....I don't think....

Thanks HG! I have it now!

I think....

Seems there have been a lot of these type posts lately and everyone has been more than generous with their help (I'm impressed) but.... 

not trying to be a smarta** or start a fight....

seems this is like bitching about a free lunch cuz you couldn't have the whole pie for dessert or....

from a skinner's perspective who helps prepare this free bountiful feast, it's all you care to eat except no pork chops in your purse please, madam...

Just my 2 sense cents!

Agreed Nav, Folks need to realize most of the content is User based, so coming on the forums and rippin folks apart is in bad form.
