Although I'm sure while the developer is around they would provide a new key, but what happens if/when the developer retires or just decides to no longer support the game? No way for you to get a key.Īlthough I do not like this limitation, in full disclosure I have bought the game because this battle interests me and I liked the past games. I don't think it is usually a problem for the person who reformats, its a problem for the person who system crashes before they could deactivate. Well, I agree - 1 is a bit less convenient, but I don't think it will be a problem for users that don't reformat every 6 weeks, no? I edited my post above, I added that some companies cater for cases where say your PC/HD fails, so that you can get an alternative key, some also offer offline keys. K, sorry, thought you'd misinterpreted it.
It means you have one activation and one deactivation. No Goodguy.I do understand what it means. I have a couple which give me quite a few.1 is ridiculous. I have a couple of games that give me 3 activations. 1 is downright stingy and does not cater for error or disaster. It means if you have a hard disk fail or forget to deactivate before removing, then you have lost you activation and have to call home. Once it's installed you cannot install it on any other machine ! JD, you misinterpret that one, it means ONE activation at a time. Battlefront) give you the possibility to receive an offline/alternative activation key. I am not sure whether they cater for such situations or not.
Some of these activation systems are set up in a way that there's a small "sting" indeed, means that - in case your HD fails - you can't retrieve the uninstall/deactivation key, so that you have to contact their tech support. They just enforce such EULA more thoroughly than other games/companies. It sounds a bit more restrictive first, but if you've ever read EULAs, then you know that many EULAs usually just grant the right to use a particular game on ONE machine at a time. You install the game on all machines you plan to use, and you activate THE machine you're currently using. The system described in the text on the screenshot is even easier to handle, as you don't have to do copy/paste the codes and go back and forth for the particular PC/laptop you want to use, since the process is handled via online-activation, it just takes a sec. Once you uninstall it, you usually get a new (deactivation/"clean") code, which you can use for your next activation/machine.
Once it's installed you cannot install it on any other machine ! Also, you can't uninstall without deactivating, usually. Bad news - 1 Activation? That is stingy as hell.and what happens when my hard drive fails? Or I uninstall forgetting to de-activate?
