Jacko_Dale Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Got a new laptop for Christmas and only brought the disk back from uni to save space in my bag, is there any way I can install the game on my new laptop and/or find out my activation code?!

CrashOverride Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 How did you activate your original game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tofters Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I think their is a way using steam (free download) do a search to find out as i am far from certain, just something i think i have read. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 If not using steam you will need your activation key again, sorry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashOverride Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Ah rite I thought it was the other way round which had confused me somewhat! So did you install via steam or uniloc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko_Dale Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 I entered the code the other way to Steam, which I presume is uniloc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
byrnea Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 through steam the activation code always pops up in the bottom right of the screen when I start the game (its quite annoying). u could try this on previous computer Edit: never mind if didnt use steam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Only other option is to contact Sega Customer Service If you have proof of purchase and see if they can help at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashOverride Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Do you not have your old laptop? Id play on that until I get back if I were you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko_Dale Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Aye but it's garbage, not enough RAM to run it well enough, got frustrating. Typical...just as I had Rochdale at top of the league too, not often that happens you know! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I can well imagine. It must be extremly frustrating? How far away are your halls... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

byrnea Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 once it is installed u do not need the disk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashOverride Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Well you dont need a disk to run the game but sharing a license key is not allowed. Thats not really an option imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGN_1982 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 hour and a half !!! mate that is well worth it in the long term ! you need to get some serious playing in before you go back or you wont be going to lectures for @@@@ next term !!!

CrashOverride Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Rather depends on if you drive your self or not! You could have a hard job convincing someone to drive you for the key tbh. Plus 3 hrs worht of petrol compared to the cost of buying the game again>? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
byrnea Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Well you dont need a disk to run the game but sharing a license key is not allowed. Thats not really an option imo it doesn't stop u does it ?, and he has bought the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOriginalJez Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 If I was to borrow a friends disk, install that, would I be able to use my disk then to run the game? In the 'Christmas spirit' lets assume best intentions ey? You can install off your friends manual number but you'll have to properly uninstall when you go back or your friend will lose one of his five installs. STRICTLY SPEAKING, it's not allowed as the five installs are for yourself, but like I say I'm assuming best intentions and that you do have a copy yourself.

T4RG4 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Phone your friends, ask around and see who amongst them wants a nice copy of FM on Jan 13th, slight discount Then go and buy yourself another copy to play now, for 20quid.

T4RG4 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I thought it was 1.5hrs one way? So 3hrs total (maths genius, I know). You can get from London to Liverpool in less than that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

T4RG4 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Well, when I say London I mean Brentwood (right next to the M25) and into Liverpool. Door to door 2hrs 50mins. Its quiet on the roads at 4am! Even motoring past Brummie land its quiet. Circa 220miles if my memory serves me correctly. Anyway, I still vote for buying another copy I wouldnt have the ability to wait until the 13th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
