Someone from the great STARS! community solved all our problems today by pointing me in the direction of the download of a lower version which also contain 16 (!) serial keys available for playing.
The difference between version 2.6i and 2.6j are so slim that it's not a problem in term of gameplay or quality.
I'll start my review as soon as our searchers confirm to me the ABW status of STARS! again. Please read
