olduvai_again Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 My apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. Is there any licensing issue with downloading on one computer and installing on another? I had planned to take advantage of my office's bandwidth by downloading to an office computer, burning the file to a cd (w/o installing), and then installing on my home computer via the newly-burnt cd. I am pretty unfamiliar with the elicensing program Battlefront is using, and I am concerned that my methodology might not work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 No problem at all. You are able to license the game on 2 computer. You can download it on as many as you want but when you install you can only license on 2. So yes...go ahead and download at work and install at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 No worries, that will work. It doesn't matter where you download from. You can transfer the downloaded files and install on a different computer, no problem. In fact, you can do this as often as you like, even after intalling and licensing, as long as you do not forget to unlicense later (which resets your activations again). This is one of the major advantages of eLicense's "mobile license" concept over most other DRM's which are really locked down to a particular computer.

Martin Excellent; thanks much for both quick responses. Of course, this means I don't have an excuse to miss work tomorrow for fear of missing the Mother Beautiful Announcement! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I've been using my work's super-fast internet to download onto my work mac. i even decompress while still on the company mac. I then bring the game home and my mac-with-PC-partition takes up the CMSF dowload no problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Taki, yes. Two PCs simultaneously is the limit. E.g. a desktop and a laptop. Or, what many people seem to be doing without telling their boss about it, the home PC and the work PC Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Byte Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 as long as you do not forget to unlicense later (which resets your activations again). How do you do that please? where do you go to 'unlicense' the software 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Mr Byte, there are several ways to do it. Usually you can simply right-click on the game exe (or a shortcut to it) and select "unlicense" from the pop-up menu. Or you can open the System folder and open the eLicense Control Service there. There are some other ways, too, explained in the FAQ at http://www.battlefront.com/elicense_faq.html For CMSF, we made it even easier - when you install the game, you will get two shortcuts installed either on the desktop or in your programs menu - one to run the game, and one to unlicense the game. So unlicensing will be a simple matter of clicking that second link. Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taki, That is one of the very nice features that makes the Battlefront forums so good, some wonder if it really is the game? Chris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
