What is Object Desktop?
Object Desktop is not an application, rather, it is a suite of Stardock applications. When you purchase Object Desktop, you're purchasing one year of prepaid access to many of the applications we offer and the latest updates for them. This includes product updates and upgrades free of charge. The current list of the applications in Object Desktop can be found at the following page: http://www.stardock.com/products/odnt/
Should your access to the suite expire, your installed application will continue to function but you will not have access to the installers, or updates, from your Stardock account page. Any installers you have backed up, however, will continue to work.
If you are wanting to renew Object Desktop, please note, returning customers qualify for a considerable discount. Please follow this link for details: http://www.stardock.com/products/odnt/odrenew.asp
If you were more interested in a one-time payment, you may benefit from purchasing an individual license for the desired applications. For the individual license, once you purchase the product, it is yours for life.
With the individual license, incremental upgrades (Fences 2.0, 2.1, etc) are offered with most Stardock software at no charge. Version upgrades however (Fences 2 -> Fences 3) are usually paid upgrades. With Object Desktop, those version upgrades would be free.
If I let my Object Desktop Subscription lapse, will my products stop working?
NO! You will still be about to install and activate with the Object Desktop key provided to you for the version you had at the time the subscription lapsed. What you wont have access to are the installers here or any updates. With that, it is important that you keep backups of the installers should you need to reinstall at a later date.

Why is there a 'Renew' or 'Extend' on my account for OD
Object Desktop will always display the option to 'Renew' or 'Extend' to add more time to your access to the suite. What is currently left on your subscription will be shown next to the 'Expires in XXX days' on your account page (https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products).
