Pleaes read this if you are waiting on a receipt from Impulse.

Hi,

If you are waiting on a receipt the most likely cause is because the credit card information used to make the purchase did not match the information on the account.  Orders queued for manual approval are reviewed by Stardock personnel and cleared within 24 hours.

If your order is over 24 hours old, and you still do not have a receipt please email support@stardock.com.

But that also deletes saved pro...
