Another question about activation

this isn't a moan before anyone thinks it is, just a general question really.

i dont have the internet on my pc (im borrowing someone elses to write this) so i will be activating via the phone system, my question is if i need to activate before my game will work how does my game know its been activated if theres no internet connection.

sorry if its been asked before but this pc is so poor i stuggled to even get in here.

Because of the key that is generated when you phone up

Please search the answer is there.

You will have to enter a key into your system, one that is generated from the key you tell on the phonecall, thus your copy of FM09 knows it is activated.

It's my understaing that you will be prompted to activate as part of (i.e. during) the installation process, so hold fire until you've put the DVD in and launched it.

I'm not sure to be honest. I imagine they'll give you some sort of code to type into the game that only works for your authentication code and then they'll mark your original code down as having used 1 install. I'm sure whoever's manning the phone lines tomorrow will be able to explain it.

thanks guys, and as for searching as i said this pc would probably blow up if i tried, its not even able to have 2 internet windows open at the same time how bad is that [sad]
