Modern Mix / Start 8 - license not found pop-ups

I can't say exactly when this started (maybe after last week's big Windows patch-day updates), I get pop-ups for Modern Mix and Start 8 telling me it can't find my license/key for these products. One for Modern Mix just popped up that prompted me to post this and I got a screenshot of it:



I get the same for Start8. I can't see that I've lost any functionality. Or, maybe it's just a glitch and that it finds the key. In the Start8 menu, under About, I do have a "Deactivate license" button. I have the same button for Modern Mix.

Can I just ignore these pop-ups or how do I stop them from happening ?

 

I am having the same issue... no response on how to fix this yet?

 

It continues to pop up for me. I can't say it happens every day but it may certainly pop-up and disappear when I'm not at my desk. It happened today though....

 

It looks like this was an issue in one of the previous builds of Start 8 and ModernMix.
Try updating Start 8 and ModernMix to the latest available versions – it will not ask for the product key.

 

I updated both a little over a week ago after it notified me of updates being available and started then. I haven't been prompted to update again but week manually check.

 

Start8 = v1.45 and no updates found
Modern Mix = v1.2 and also no updates found

 

I couldn't find how to re-install just Start8 or ModernMix, so I re-installed Parallels itself. It looks as though it doesn't package these two add-on apps but downloads them directly as part of the install process. It downloads the current/latest version and I'm right back where I was. Just saw the pop-up down in the corner too....

Both apps are currently older than I posted above (haven't been prompted to update them yet). ModernMix is v1.12 and Start8 is v1.30. Again, even with these older versions, I'm getting pop-ups that the license isn't found.

Browsing the forums over at Stardock, this seems to be a common issue....
