I don't think Sch meant it as an attack, at least I hope not, I took it more as a partially tongue in cheek comment along with putting the cost into his perspective. As long as there isn't any fisticuffs starting, or actual insults, please continue your comments gents, anybody gets out of line then Foul and I reserve the right to wade in with guns blazing, or alternatively lock things down.
Thanks all for your cooperation and generally polite discussion on this issue that I know from other games has the potential to escalate, let's keep it that way.

It would be nice if there was a simple way to un-register it on one computer and use it on another, lots of software works like that.
Exactly how does the DRM function, and can you have two copies of the game and easily toggle activation between the two?
Anyone? Glenn?
As of yesterday, in testing it, you could not have the game installed on more than one machine, requiring an uninstall before it could be downloaded and installed again. However, I believe the install files can be saved for easier reinstallation but that isn't something I was really looking at when I tested that stuff.
I did make a suggestion to Glenn today regarding a simple activation/deactivation without uninstalling, as when I tested things I copied the entire game folder to a backup before uninstalling, was able to run the game from either copy, then uninstalled the master copy and the backup would no longer run but it did ask for the serial number and if it wasn't installed elsewhere I could reinstate it as the running copy without reinstalling.
As yesterday was the first time I tested switching between machines, I wasn't aware of the details until then, but that is how it is working now.
