Simbazz Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'll start off by saying sorry if this is in the wrong forum Ok, so I come to putting FM on my new laptop but something which comes up called SoftAnchor keeps coming up asking for product activation, asking for license key. Can anyone help me? Before you go on hating me saying search, this is a quick post. So I didn't search. So if someone can help, i'd appreciate it.

And continues to ask me to visit a website to buy another one. Please help someone! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simbazz Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 No it was brand new, put it on my old laptop, worked fine. Put it onto my university laptop, works fine. I now come to this laptop, so the third, and it wont let me use a game I bought! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainPlanet Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 There are several activation issue threads, if you can't find your answer amongst them, phone the customer care line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tie Fighter Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I've just posted as I anticipate the same problem - I want to upload my game to a laptop with a new harddrive. PResumably the idea of the code is to ensure a "one game purcahse per PC used" scenario. It seems we will have to contact customer support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
