Unable to de-license.

Lucky1 · 11-05-2009, 12:39 AM

Im using a PC. The online manual states that to uninstall the license..."Go to Start | All Programs | Out of the Park Developments | OOTP Baseball 10 | Tools." Well, I chose the option at setup not to have a Start menu directory, so the above instructions don't apply for me. I've looked through the installed folder and can't see anything obvious. How do I uninstall the license?

Try some of the unlicense methods in this thread.

Unfortunately, those methods rely on having something set up in the Start menu. As I said, I chose not to use that option on setup...

If you read the thread closely, you'll come across one (Alan T's) telling you to right-click on the exe. That one shouldn't depend on having start menu items. The exe should be in your program files directory unless you installed it elsewhere.

If you are referring to this..."right click the ootp10.exe and there was an option for e-license -> unlicense there"..such an option doesn't come up for me.

You went to "C:\Program Files\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 10", right-clicked on ootp10.exe and nowhere in the context menu that popped up was an item labeled something like "eLicense Control"?

What exact version of Windows are you using?

In your Control Panel do you have an "eLicense Control" anywhere like in "Additional Options"?

You can also try creating your own unlicense shortcut by creating another shortcut to that exe, right-clicking the shortcut, selecting properties, and appending " -unlicense" (without those extra quotation marks) to the end of the target field so that it reads something like:

Quote:

"C:\Program Files\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 10\ootp10.exe" -unlicense

The beginning of that of course depends on where you installed the game.

If all else fails or you don't mind waiting a couple days or so (maybe less), you can contact elicense and they can do it for you.

Ok, there is no elicense option under the control panel and right-clicking on the exe doesn't produce anything relevant to the license. I've ended up reinstalling over the top, adding the start menu option. So now I have been able to patch and actually play 9after delincensing). I see no way to de license without the start menu option included. Thanks for your efforts, at least now I can play
