ron.e Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 If i decide not to go through steam to purchase the game does the 5 machine activation rule count? and if i buy the game from somewhere like amazon, do i have to activate my copy of the game to play it? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GillsMan Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Yes and yes. Though you don't have to activate through Steam - there are other methods as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerner Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 If you buy it off Amazon, you don't need to activate it. But not sure about the other question though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazzydeepy Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 However you buy FM 2009, you must activate through Steam, Online activation or Phone. Apparently Steam is the quickest and reccommended by SI. I think you can activate it through steam even if you bought the game off of Amazon or in the shops - but im not 100% sure on that.
