FelixG Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Is that it, would i just be better off chucking the game out the window? (if i wanted to keep it on more than 5 computers) Just for wondering sake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomHAVFC Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Is he actually the researcher? I thought if you were a researcher then it said so underneath your username instead of "part-timer" or "semi-pro". He has his in his location plus he hardly has any posts. Seems a bit dodgy to me.

TomHAVFC Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 if it stays like this next year me and my mates are going to buy one copy and have an activation each thus making it cheaper That's what me and my mates are gonna do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen_Terminator Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Is it not that you can't have it installed on more than five computers at a time? As far as I know, you can uninstall and reinstall as many times as you like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thempesth Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 if you install the game to your friends,it does not automatically mean that you will be broking any agreement or something like that....you have the game, you have PAID for 5 licences(DIFFERENT PC'S) and i think that you can install the game where ever you want...its your game, those are your own installations, that you have paid, and you can do what you want with them...why should this mean that you broke something?i gave 2 installations away...one for my room mate and one to a colleague of work...that means i broke a law?be serious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thempesth Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 bull***t...come on...you paid for your own stuff, so you can think of what ever you want to do with it...if i want to install it on other 4 pc's, its your own decision...you paid for something so you can install it where you want if you want to ask anyone from SI, be my guest and ask...i think that they would not say anything about this...your game, your stuff, so you can install it where you want...anyway...this discussion could go far...if i buy a car i should not give it to my wife or son?or brother/sister?come on...be serious...like i said, this could go far, so lets just stop it here, cause then could appear unimportant discussions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thempesth Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 btw...felixg should know that the game is HIS, and not SI's anymore...so i think that nobody could tell him what to do with it(not even SI)...because its, like i said, HIS, and he can do whatever he would want with it...even install it on his friends pc's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlayerX Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Why does it matter if he is a reseacher or not? Because we would expect a researcher to have at least a teaspoon amount of brains. This is possibly the stupidest post/question/comment that I've ever seen here. And that's saying something! Shouldn't a person whom he researches for know that he "un-seat" one of his 5 installs from one of the nominated computers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aberdeen_raith Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I haven't checked the FM EULA specifically, however, the usual stipulation is that you can install on a certain amount of machines, but at any given time, only one of those installations can be in use. In essence, you can play FM on 5 different computers, but only one of those computers can be running FM at any given time. Also, how quickly do you think the Celtic Researcher is gonna lose his job?

Indeed, it's intended for personal use and strictly speaking it would be difficult for you to be playing it on more than one computer at the same time...if you need it on another uninstall it from one. It's strange that so many people who don't know the difference between property and license are suddenly copyright experts haha ah it's old ground.

baker.simon Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Its nice to see people that are in agreement with me lol. It doesnt happen often! The EULA is there for a reason, and whilst nothing can be done about it being abused at the moment, i suggest that something in future needs to be done about people who do abuse it. People who moan about the game being so expensive that they have to split the cost 5 ways would do well to remember that £30 (when released new) is not a lot of money to spend on a game that gives so many hours play time. Lets face it, £30 quid nowadays isn't even a night in the pub for most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
