Hello Serhil,
This reads less like a review and more like a support issue - one we would like to work with you on here:

The chosen desktop will either dissapear, or you cannot apply them to the desktop.

A unique app to spice up the desktop
A unique app to spice up the desktop.
Been using this for over 10 years. Clients get impressed when they see the desktop.
Con is it takes up system resources and makes the PC "heavy" (a little sluggish at time) but I have a pretty powerful PC so not a large problem

A marvelous software. Illustates beautifully.
This application has been fun to work with, enjoyable visually, and never ends with the possibility of more discovery. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants vibrant and varied computer-generated backgrounds.

I love the great variety of created scenes (both static and animated) that the community has created. The ability to have Deskscapes automatically switch scenes ensures (on one or multiple monitors) ensures a fresh variety of scenes.

Excellent software / Terrible support and sales
I have used Start11 and Fences for c. 1 year. The software impresses me, and I consider it excellent.
On the flip side, support is terrible, almost counterproductive, and sales services are doubtful - for example, they sell a single license with 5 activations in such a way that it is easily confused with 5 PC licenses.
They suddenly appeared with a new installation of Start11 (update/ upgrade?), and after reinstalling, not only did they not accept the legitimate previous key but also considered the mail address unknown.

Hello Francisco,
This is somewhat of a mystery to me
'Excellent software / Terrible support and sales'
I answered your ticket 3 minutes after you replied to the auto-responder

Your issue is that you are trying to activate the wrong product with the wrong key.
Please review my full response in the ticket and reply if you still have issues.
