Copy of Game on Laptop

Post by Frosty Son of Thunder »

Why can't we activate this excellent game on both our desktop and laptops? This would increase my playing time as I'm always on the go. My desktop, however would be my choice when at home as it is the better gaming machine. :(

I'm a noob here and I must say I'm very impressed with the game. B :) :) :)

You can, install the game on both machines. You can quickly deactivate the game on your desktop, then activate it on your laptop (and vice versa). Activating/deactivating online takes less than five seconds. :)

Because of the way the game is licensed, you can only have one game active at a time. However you can install it one any number of computers but you can only have one activated at a time. So if you wanted to play on your laptop you would deactivate the one on your desktop and activate the one on your laptop. Or vice versa. There is no limit to the activations/deactivations you're allowed.
