milnerpoint Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Its not for sale in Germany because of licensing issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUBI Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 It was never available in Germany in the past couple of years due to licensing reasons. You have to order a copy from online retailer like Amazon, game etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erni13 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Can i buy a STEAM KEY from something like polish e-bay? Or it is impossible? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uselessoak Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I am not sure but this MAY be possible. Can you give your steam account to a friend outside of Germany and ask him to buy fm with it. Then perhaps you can just log in, download and play? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameuss Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Not really supposed to be discussed on the forums beyond "not available due to licensing issues", so I'd be careful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erni13 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 It is really ********... Ok, and what about shops in U.K ? Can i get the game over there? Because i'm going to Birmingham next month, and maybe can i buy FM over there... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because i'm going to Birmingham next month, and maybe can i buy FM over there... The problem is the activation, not the purchase. You can also buy it from one of thousdands of key sites online, for a price around 25€, but you can't activate it in Germany. I don't know if activate it outside Germany, then use it in Germany is equiparable to VPN. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erni13 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 And i have to do the activation ? Or can i buy a normal box-version and install it offline? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Gifting is the easiest way if you're lucky enough to be able to arrange it. If you can get a disc copy that also works. Don't discuss "other" ways on this forum please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 And i have to do the activation ? Or can i buy a normal box-version and install it offline? You need to activate online and if you even hint at piracy again you're out of here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impi Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 You can buy a download version in U.K. and activate it in Germany. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KUBI Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 A lot of misleading information here. Fact 1: The game can't be sold in Germany, due to licensing reasons. Fact 2: A boxed copy bought or ordered abroad/online can be activated in Germany. There is a FM fan site in Germany for more information: www.meistertrainer.de (obviously in German) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fac 2: A boxed copy bought or ordered abroad/online can be activated in Germany. I live in Germany as well and KUBI got it exactly right. I ordered all my copies of FM with Amazon.uk (boxed) and it can be activated from Germany without any problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
