Registration

Yes, registration codes can be annoying! Get help right here!

  • You've lost your Registration Code.
  • The Registered Name you used when purchasing doesn't match the Registered Name on your device so your Registration Code isn't accepted.
  • You've upgraded to the latest version of Pocket Stars and your old code doesn't work.

To solve all of these problems, visit our online tool to immediately get a code that works.

Installation

Need help getting Pocket Stars installed?

  • PDA version (Pocket PC) here.
  • SP version (Smartphone) here.
  • PC version (Windows PCs) here.

Upgrades

Upgrades are free for registered users!

Just download and install the latest "trial" version. If you currently have a registered version, you can install over the top of an old version and the new version will stay registered.

The "trial" and "buy" versions are identical - you just don't get a registration code when you download the "trial" version. Note that you will not need to re-enter your registration code when upgrading.

Just make sure you exit Pocket Stars before starting the upgrade. On the PDA and Smartphone versions, hit Menu.About.Exit. On the PC version use Menu.Exit.
