Re: Fences Serial Key
George
I am having the exact same issue.. Some times I can render a video and it crashes as the last minute. or in some case cant even open Enscape it crashes at the first hurdle get the loading page and then hangs.
Ok i got a brand new laptop, amd 5800h rtx 3070 100tgp, and first thing i tried after updates, install sketchup and run a very graphic demanding render and it worked perfectly. Then after fiddling with the power plan for the laptop, I have created a new power plan, changed some settings to have lower performance if unplugged to save battery, and everything maxed on when plugged in. I updated the amd software that also included the raidon graphics update for the onboard graphics chip and other grpahical settings, ran sketchup and enscape again, same model, with power connected, and it ran out of juice, giving me the vulcan error when i exported the image at 5k.(I did try different resolutions, including lowering quality, where in some cases it worked, some not) I reverted back to before I loaded the amd update, and left my laptop on high performance power plan that came with windows and it worked perfectly again. Just a note, after the crash, i did check my nvidia settings and it was set to the dedicated gpu but that still gave the vulcan error. I recon the amd has its own power plan and extra settings that clashes with nvidia and windows power plans and puts out less juice to the card or work against the program. I feel its works this way, so I dont mess with it anymore^^)
This specific problem may not always be related to RTX being turned on, so please also kindly send us a Feedback Report so that we can let you know more exactly. Which graphics card is built into your system at the moment?
Hi, i tried to open a Enscape standalone on different workstations with this mentioned Nvidia error (theVulkan Error:vk:::waitFroFences:ErrorDevideLost at wait for fences the when try to opening a standalone). The nvidia driver is updated. For standalones i can not send a feedback, so here is the logentry:
The upgrade between 3 and 4 was not free, but if you purchased 3.x a little time before 4.0 came out it would have been a free upgrade. This is the same as v5 is free to those who purchased v4 recently.
Stardock have never sold a version of any software to the best of my knowledge which includes all new major versions for free. How it works is you buy Fences 3 and you get all of the 3.x updates but a 4.0 is a paid extra (unless within the free upgrade window). This is how it has always been.
You can buy a new "lifetime" Fences 5 license outright at the cost of 3 x the yearly subscription (not sure on the upgrade) but considering that version 4 is only 1.5 years old, they are trying to make the subscription the "value" item.
I'm even considering moving back to W10 just because of missing the functionality of Bins. Everything that I did with one click now takes two or three clicks. It works on StartAllBack, but it crashes every minute or so. Sigh.
A permanent Fences 5 license is definitely priced as a luxury item and should be considered one. If you are able to dish out lots of money on software per year it could be considered. I wouldn't expect the average stardock user to purchase this though. I really do hope a Fences version loses it's luxury price tag eventually (maybe on steam)
In my opinion, the idea of annual subscriptions just for Fences is very fuzzy right now and would be considered my least recommended way to get Fences 5. I will explain why. Windows 12 is expected to be released later this year and with it comes a bunch of unknowns. No one knows what Microsoft will be changing and no one knows what compatibility may be broken if any at all. Along with all the unknown's from Microsoft comes an equal amount of unknown's from stardock marketing strategy on how they will deliver their software to Windows 12. A potential problem could be this; All stardock software may become subscription based. If you want multiple software you may get trapped in single subscriptions with multiple products. This makes zero sense. The only sensible option with multiple products is object desktop as all software is bundled together
I was previously using a single licence of Fences 4 on 2 or 3 different machines simultaneously with no issue, but it has now popped up stating that I can only utilise it on one machine. This wasn't the case previously, so it also appears they are enforcing single licences for the first time (for Fences anyway). I have had Groupy running on 2 different machines on a single licence for many years, but am guessing that will also change.
I have written the company with the same complaint... What do you mean by lifetime. IF for only Fences 5 then it has to last for 3 years to equal out or its not equitable. I did a survey and got a 20 percent discount, but I guess I didn't wait for the server to update and I was changed the 9.99 ignoring the discount. So I've asked for my money back and an explanation of what lifetime means.
I'm on 4, my wife's new machine is on 3 cuz I can't buy another 4 and the only difference is that 3 doesn't lock!
BTW 3 was offered to handle 3 machines, 4 a single machine. Will see what they do. Its not the 9.99 that matters, its
this subscription model. Between Godaddy and all the updates yearly and other software companies, subscriptions are a headache.
Quicken went that route with a difference. used to be 69.95, now 49 a year but there are no more versions like 11, 12, 13.
They just continually upgrade their product. That works out well.
Stardock are clearly trying to ensure that you don't "own" your software anymore unless you pay them an ongoing fee. From a consumer point of view, many many people don't consider this customer friendly.
I agree. There is hardly any new functionality. The chameleon functionality is not new, it is a slightly tweaked version of what in Fences 3 is the Opacity setting. The only new feature is perhaps that you can show the fences in front of your programs. In the years of its existence there are hardly any new features. So I do not understand the steep increase in price.
Another issue I have is that when I upgraded to version 4, there were some issues. The support I received was inadequate and did not resolve my problems. I did not get a refund. So this aspect also did not improve.
There should be an "upgrade" sku. Making people purchase full price for a couple of additional features is not cool. Someone could argue there is not enough change in 6.x to deserve a major version bump.
Folks, Stardock is trying old-fashioned business management: turn one-time customers into permanent payers - and hope they forget about the auto-renewal. IBM tried this, when - decades ago - they tried to move millions of users from purchase to rental. And we can see today, where this got big IBM. So - let's stay on 4 and wait for MS to include a similar feature in their release in the release of W12 at yearend.
Quoting Stoneybrook, reply 18
To add to this, I subscribed to 5, and 6 months in, I'm getting requested to enter a product key every day. If I ignore it, I have limited functionality. If input my key, it's happy for a day.
Man, I discovered today that Fences is moving to a Subscription model and no longer offers discounts on perm licenses for existing F4 license holders. I will NEVER move to a subscription model. I will stay on my fences 4 perm licenses (i bought multiple for multiple PC's!) as there is no significant change in functionality to justify paying for a full perm license of 5 let alone a subscription.
Fences provide privacy, screening, and containment. In some cases a fence may not be allowed, such as near a stream or other critical area and may be limited in height if a fence is in a front yard. Fences taller than eight feet require a building permit approval.
Generally, anywhere on your property. However, the fence location will determine its allowable height. It is not required to be set back from your property line unless your property contains a Protected Area (wetland, stream, steep slope) or is within the Shoreline Overlay District. In such cases, refer to Land Use Code (LUC) 20.25E and LUC 20.25H.
Fences in a required front-yard setback may not exceed 4 feet, 6 inches, except under certain circumstances discussed below. See LUC 20.20.010 for front-yard setback requirements for your district. See LUC 20.25A for Downtown zone setbacks and LUC 20.25D for Bel-Red zone setbacks.
Fences exceeding 4 feet, 6 inches, but no taller than 8 feet, may be located anywhere except within the required front-yard setback. Fences over 8 feet are permitted with a building permit but may not be located within any required front-, rear-, or side- yard setback.
A fence must not violate the sight-obstruction restrictions at street intersections. Those restrictions are found in Bellevue City Code (BCC) 14.60.240 and BCC 14.60.241 and vary by type of intersection. If your fence will be located near a driveway or street intersection, contact the Transportation Department for additional information on sight-obstruction restrictions.
Height is measured from the finished grade along the exterior side of the fence to the top of the fence. If a fence is built on top of a berm, the combined height of the fence and berm must not exceed the allowable fence height. On sloping ground the fence must follow the slope or step with the slope so as not to exceed the allowable height at any point along the fence.
