i've reinstalled about 20 times as i had a few failures on my os when testing win 8 beta.
even though the HW was identical. Possibly due to me deteting pertition and rebuilding os. i quickly used up all my activations.
I had to send an email requeting this to be lifted. They will only allow you 1 activation after you have reached the 1st 5 limit.
It also takes about 5 days for a response from them.
Not very good tbh
yes it is. and if you dare not to have a scan of the original manaual containing the key it gets a lot worse!

I dont have the manual or the code anymore. No idea where it is tbh. I thought once registered it was like steam the games are on your account.
My other games are also asking for the same thing now as well...![]()
my copy was retail so i dont know about steam. I thoughtyou activated steam purchased games through the steam app itself?
I don't use it.


Thanks dude, ordered for $5 (had a $15 voucher) and downloading now![]()
