philleeds1407 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hi Gents, can anyone help please? We have bought FM2010 yesterday and my brother has installed it via steam on his laptop. I now want to instal it on mine and steam tells me the activation code has been used and it wont let me download it. Surely I dont need to buy the game as well, and we can instal it on 2 computers in the same house ? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glyn Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Have you bought a disc version or a discless download version? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
karanda_uk Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 the license in the game is for ONE user on MULTIPLE (3 i think) machines. what you want to do is MULTIPLE users, therefore need a new license (i.e buy a copy) which is standard across any games.

Glyn Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I bought the disc in asda Then install the game on your pc using the disc and keep the disc to load up FM on your machine whilst your brother uses his activation code to run FM on his.

Daddy Yankee Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Some say 3. Try then using same steam account on every of your 3 computers? I'm not sure, but seems to me that it works that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitemfrank Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thanks, but my dads out of luck if he wants to play the game as well on his laptop ? Not really. Using steam means you don't have to have the disk in your laptop. He can then play using the cd - he will have to keep the cd in the laptop though. So you both should be able to play it, he just won't be able to use steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Yankee Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thanks. But how can I download it again when my activation key hs been 'used' ? You said you have boxed copy. Just run installer and choose steam activation. Before that log on your steam account you activated FM with. You'll see will it let you install. Not really. Why not, if it's really 3 computers able to run under one key? He should try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
