Possible but not worth it in any way, shape or form. Why would you want to so this anyway?
Oh and games from an external hard drive will run like poo
Pfffffffff! Let me try to be concise and to the point.
I bought Wings of Prey a few days ago, I fall in love with the game the first few minutes I played the demo. It's not expensive, converted back to GBP it's only GBP 25.00.
However, an issue surfaced when I was done with the installation. It says 2 activations left. See below:
As you fellas know, I normally use Steady State on 32 bits Vista and Deep Freeze on 64 bits Vista. Given the installation limitations, I have to give up Steady State or let the installation exhausted one way or the other. What about when I need to upgrade my ATI Driver.
What you can do is to deactivate it before you wipe out your hard disk and reinstall Windows afterwards. Now that's great, but I tried that once and found that the issue still remains. Deactivations are counted the same way as Activation, only difference is that you have 10 deactivations!! What a delightful surprise?!
One thing I can make out is that the purpose of this limitations. I recall Company of Heroes imposes something similar but they don't strictly put a number of activations there. They just say something like watch out your re-installations or you may not get activations for too many times.
In order to resolve this issue, I bought a Seagate External 250GB hard drive. It worths the money because WOP is really flight sim game of the year 2010 in my opinion.
But now I've found out that it's not a simple deal to install Vista on an external USB drive. I have MyBook and it is connected via eSATA that's no problem with it. As to USB drive...
