Bubba883XL Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Hey all. Do the games come with two activations of their licence for multiplayer purposes ? Or is it more for activating etc due to hardware changes. ( Had to do this a few times myself due to changing monitor and graphics card oddly ) Is the above still supported via help desk? Just for peace of mind if I do any changes on my tower etc. Cheers Bubba 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I don't think that the original intent of the multiple activations available per license key was to allow for two players to use one purchase of the game. Some customers have done this and Battlefront really hasn't prevented this or punished players for doing this. However if this other player frequently plays the game (even if it is only mulitplayer with you), then it would seem more legitimate if they bought a copy/license of the game/modules for themselves. Hardware changes and moving to new computers (and other occasional technical problems) were more of the assumed use of the additional activations. The CM 1 series, CMSF 1 and CM Afghanistan used eLicense which had an unlicensing mechanism to allow you to unlicense the game/modules, perform your changes (or move to a new computer) and then relicense the game/modules. Doing this would preserve the two activations (assuming something didn't happen to prevent the unlicensing). The eLicense games came with 2 activations per license key. Ever since CMBN a new copy-protection system has been in use and that system does NOT have an unlicensing mechanism. Instead the activation is simply 'used up' and you use another one to activate the game/modules. Those license keys come with 4 activations per license key (unless you have purchased more than one copy of the game at one time and only received one license key - those will have more activations). If you run out of activations you can contact the Helpdesk to request an additional activation for your license key(s). You'll of course need to provide the license keys for each product that needs additional activations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba883XL Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Understood thanks. I think it's better for each player to get his/her own copy too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
