How many installs do we get ? Transfer of ownership ?

[Deriaz]

My brother installed it on his laptop when he got home. I installed it on my PC when he was done. He's playing it now on his laptop. No problems so far. I haven't played it, yet, as I'm updating my drivers and everything, but he's having no problems with the game, even though it is installed to two computers.

There is normally a limit set by the publisher on how many times you can authorize from a new install.

Thats why I asked how many installs we get before we run into auth problems.

Can anyone confirm if this copy protection exists on Steam?

If not then I know where I'll be buying my copy from

Multiple questions arise from this topic. Some what stupid questions but questions none the less.

1. What happens if securom goes out of business sometime and someone goes to install the game only to get a failed to connect to server at the activation part.

2. This question was actually asked in a topic I made. Will it be possible to register BioShock on steam with the registration key we got with are hard copy in the future?

1. Then we go get a crack for it and keep playing.

2. Doubt it.

i installed it when i got home. didnt know anything about this only instal lto machine so many times no documentation on it anywhere i have read.

Decided to install my vista. haveing probelms instaling vista so i decided to install on dads vist which is under the minimum specs some to play around on it. No sound lol. so i boot up the dual boot xp version on the same machine and guess what guys? No install wont accept actiavation only 2 machines so lets seee what this means for me 1 i installed on my machine and then wiped it out so that machine is no longer viable to install on and the other one i installed onto has crappy grafix and no sound so thats a no go in essance i just spent 60 dollars now just look at a broken game untill a pirtate version comes out no way in hell im paying for this ☺☺☺☺ again. Blows my mind that the same machine but dual boot is two differnent machines to them.

Thats when you contact tech support and complain. I had something simular with Heros of Might and Magic 5 happpen ( with the expansion ) and they cleared it up. Can install it on any system I want as menny times now.

See this is what I'm talking about! Sometimes companies make the stupidest mistakes and influence users to rely on cracks which are normally meant for pirating software!

[mxmightymc]

I'm going to see how far this goes, otherwise this game is going back to the store!
