mjkerner Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 ...and load it on a zip drive (64 gig) and then load it onto my comp at home? Forgive the stupid question, but my home PC lost Internet connection and I won't be getting it back until Thursday or Friday. I pre-ordered the CW download+CD and so have the notice email, have my password and all other secret handshake stuff. But because you can only have so many downloads on a particular computer or some such restriction, can I pop over to my buddy's house and download it there and pop it onto a zip, etc? Reading the posts about it is killing me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yes, you can download the installer on a different computer and copy it over to another computer to actually install it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that was quick! Thanks Schrullenhaft! But will there be a problem if the user privileges in Windows is different...especially if I have to use my work computer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Never mind...I won't be installing it on another comp...only downloading. Thanks again, Schrullencraft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 One of the advantages of our digital distribution process is that it isn't tied in any way to downloads or online servers or anything. People sometimes do not realize the advantage of not being tied to some network for your gaming these days anymore Setup files can be downloaded, copied, back'd up and what not as is convenient for you. Once you downloaded the setup file, and activated it, you do not need to go online ever again. As far as we are concerned, you can move to the South Pole after that and keep playing. Or Maine, for that matter . Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yes, I am definitely a believer in your digital distribution, Martin. I'm back at work downloading the installer now...4 minutes left, then back to the house and...Oh Joy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 I'm about ready to take back what I said aboutr digital download. I need a new activation key because I don't have internet connection and must install manually. So I used the code the installer gave me and submitted a ticket about 5 hours ago to get a new activation key, and haven't heard a peep from BFC yet. I know the Helpdesk has to be swamped, but does it actually take a help desk person to email the key? I have to catch a ride home in a few minutes so won't get to the internet until tomorrow. Another night without CW! This is a flukey situation, (lost connection for a few days) but the digital download isn't helping me any at this point. Rant over. There's probably a long line of tickets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFightingSeabee Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 mjkerner, it should work for you. I'd try again and make sure to enter the code correctly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 I appreciate the encouragement, FightingSeabee, but I tried it twice (copied and pasted the number). Apparently, because I have no Internet connection, the normal license key won't work??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
