fifafan Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 One question for you, Marc. I've downloaded the game, and it puts it in a 'Boonty' folder, along with an ini file. I don't want to install it right now, as i am at work. Can I take this folder home, and install it there, or will I have to download it again?

Burto1945 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Thank you Marc, besides yesterday's hiccup, once again you have done your company proud. One question: does this have more than one license attached (as in, putting the game on my laptop & desktop)? Thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
