Hiss rant DRM

Just got it in to my head and my mates to go through the Red Alert 3 co-op campaign again together as we enjoyed it last time. Now I install the game and DRM says I've installed it too many times! Grrr. I've reformatted my machines too often and never de authorised as I wasnt aware I needed to. Their own official de auth tool does nothing as its a fresh windows install. Cant log in to their website for this as I never had an account. Seriously is my only choice to ring up and beg for the permission to use a game I paid for?!

There is always another method.

Only skirmish.

I think you misunderstood - he meant to uninstall the game and nuke it from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure.

Well I found a novel way around the problem, so its all fine. A combination of shady methods and perfectly legal methods.

does legal involve fake lan?
