chaddy101 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Don't judge him, by the sounds of it he's bought WWSM as he lives in the USA. Why would he ask if he can download a pirate copy when he obviously could. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not illegal downloading/piracy. I'd take it up with whoever you bought it off (I don't know who distributes this) as this forum is more about the playing of the game than the buying of it. It sounds to me though like there's a limit on how many computers you can put it on. Much like itunes works with buying songs. There are only so many computers you can put it on due to piracy protection. I could be wrong though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
isuckatfm Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Apparently you are supposed to be able to install it on two machines. I don't use a downloaded version so can't really help you, but have a dig around the Program Files folder where it installed where I expect there would be something that explains how to do it.

Carrplos Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 You get two licenses with WWSM so yes, you can have it at both parents residences. But only on one computer at each. I have mine on my laptop and desktop for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daffyg Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 I live in the states and bought WorldWide Soccer Manager. In the US you can buy it from the developers (on their website) and download it over the internet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
postal postie Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 can you not download it on one computer, copy the files onto a pen drive and put it on the other computer? rather than downloading it on both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullion1 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 i reckon when you bought it online, you bought the liscense for ONE computer, or your breaking copyright laws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone has said already that you get to install it on two computers when you buy it. Maybe you've installed it twice over somehow? So it counts as two uses of the liscence?

Tim Madisun Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I'm sure I read a question a while ago about two brothers who wanted to play on two different computers, in the same house. I remember that SI were cool with that. This doesn't sound too dissimilar, but would be harder to do as you don't have the physical game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
