For the ‘Classic’ Object Desktop product, if the subscription lapses, the included software will continue to function at the versions that were available when the subscription lapsed. Any NEW Object Desktop Subscription purchased after May 2023 will see the software cease to function if the subscription is allowed to lapse. ‘New’ in this example means it has never been on the account prior, that it is a brand NEW license, not a ‘Renewed’ Classic license.
If my “Classic Object Desktop Subscription” lapses, do I still have access to the installers via my Stardock account?
No. Stardock will not make available installers for the versions that were active when your Classic Object Desktop Subscription lapsed. It is the responsibility of the client to keep copies of the installers for any product that was available when their subscription was current.
This point is moot for non Classic Object Desktop subscriptions as the products will not activate if that type of subscription has lapsed.
