Changing PC's

illeracula · 11-04-2005, 08:47 AM

I looked in the FAQ's and it mentioned there the license information regarding the game. But it didn't completly answer my question...which is, how do I move my game from one PC to another (My home PC is suffering from some kind of hardware failure and is about to die).

From reading the FAQ's it looks like I just need to make sure I have my order.id for the elicense and run the install on my new computer noting the elicense number...is this correct?

I just want to hear from someone who has done this before, so I can get my game off of that computer and onto a different before the machine pewter's out on me.

TIA

Go to your OOTP 65 directory ( or wherever ootp***.exe is) right click and unlicence it. Then re-install on your replacement computer and licence it again. It is that simple. If that doesn't work maybe Control Panel - E-licence control works for you. If your computer dies go to http://www.elicense.com/usersupport/el_overview.htm and send them the required info to issue you a new licence.

Remember you are given two licences so you can have two instances of OOTP licenced at any one time.

Hope this helps.
