YankeeDog Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Yes; one purchase gives you 4 installs, which you can use however you see fit. You get one additional install per year after purchase. Keep in mind that you might need to use an install if you significantly change your hardware on an existing machine (upgrade a video card, etc.). But unless you change hardware fairly frequently, your allotted installs should allow you to install and play the game on two machines without problem. BFC has also said that if you have a hard luck story where you end up using up all your installs while repairing your computer or something, you can contact support and they'll re-set your installs. Nice folks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice folks. To be more precise. The game gives you 4 ACTIVATIONS and legally allows you to install on two PCs (see the manual page 9 I believe ). You can reinstall the game on a PC that has been activated as many times as you want, as long as you don't change the OS or hardware. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical Wargamer Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 What is the difference between installs and activations? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 What is the difference between installs and activations? Once you've downloaded the installer (which you can do up to 10 times within 365 days of purchase), You can install (i.e., run the installer program and put the code onto your hard drive) on as many machines as you want to. But the game won't actually run until you've entered your "activation code". You only need to use an activation code once per install, UNLESS you make significant hardware changes to the machine upon which you installed the game. In this case, you might need to 're-activate'. Your activation code will work 4 times, plus you get one additional install per year after the year of purchase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
