proevofanatik Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 what happens if you format your pc then go to install it again? will i be able to install it again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 You have 5 installs. Once you install the game then you have 4 left obviously. If you uninstall it before formatting then you will get that one back. Also you can get it back by just deactivating that use. There is a link somewhere on here that allows you to do that.

proevofanatik Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 so can i install my cd key on my friends pc when its already on mine? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 so can i install my cd key on my friends pc when its already on mine? You can install the game on up to 5 computers at once. It is not intended to be used by different people though. It is still illegal to share it with other people. The 5 installs are just for your own use only.

RDXCougar8173 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 so can i install my cd key on my friends pc when its already on mine? technically yes but it is frowned upon by SI as that means you have broken your EULA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
