QUESTION

metball4 · 03-05-2002, 12:18 PM

IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE OOTP4 ON BOTH MY COMPUTERS WITH JUST PAYING ONCE? IF SO HOW?
AND IF THIS IS SO CANT U JUST SEND IT TO EVVRYONE?

AND IF U CAN DONT DO IT, WHY DID U HAVE TO PAY AND UR FRIEND DONT.

ALSO HOW DO I GET THE PLAYERS PHOTOS WORKIN? DO I DPOWNLOAD THEM INTO MY GAME FILE?

mad0die · 03-05-2002, 12:20 PM

I believe you get three licenses when you purchase the game. So, you could run it on 3 computers.

The answer to this can only be read if your caps lock key is turned off.

You only get three licenses. The game doesn't work without a license. Give a license to your friend and Markus will know. You'll be in trouble then.

metball4 · 03-05-2002, 12:22 PM

im not giving it to my friends but how would he no?

kids do not help ur friends out!

1. Read the manual

2. Your friend is smarter then you

3. Read the manual

Well, by having your friend use one of your licenses you could be helping to ensure that there won't be future versions of the game, because they wouldn't be making any money.

Let your friend come over to your house and see if he likes the game.

If he does, then have him buy the game as well. A $29 price tag for a game that offers this much enjoyment is nothing in the grand scheme of it all.

there are some very sophisticated (that means "real good") anti-piracy mechanisms built into the licensing process.

you CAN us on 3 of your OWN computers, because Markus is a nice guy.

but, if your friends tries to license using your number, visiontek uses an IP propogater to do a reverse lookup to tag the new IP, and you'll both get busted, and then you're looking at piracy issues as well as credit card fraud.

doesn't seem worth it to me...

metball4 · 03-05-2002, 12:35 PM

DD,

We started using one of those propogaters at work recently to track down employees who were installing their own software on PC's.

It helped a ton. A few people got fired over it too.

I had some jerkball asking me for my OOTP license because he gave his to all his friends!!!

He would instant message me and send me emails!!

If you want the game....pay for it!!

But whatever you do, leave me the heck alone!!

Boy, you will never know how much better I feel now that I got that out.

Andy · 03-05-2002, 01:15 PM

If anyone asks me for one of my licenses I just tell him to talk to this guy on the message boards, maybe you've heard of him, goes by the name of Markus. He'll give you a great deal, 3 licenses for $29.90

This guy I know gave an ID to his friend and these other guys showed up at his house in a big black van and they put him in the van and they drove the van to this place and his friend he gave the ID to was there already and they started pulling hairs out of his friends knee and making him smell the hairs and then they made soup with the hairs in it and then the guy had to eat the soup with hairs while his friend watched him eat the hair-soup and while the guy was watching the hair-soup eating they made him watch "Temptation Island" and then the guys with the van drove it to the Mcdonalds in Stacy, Minnesota and they made the guy who gave his friend the ID talk to this guy who said and I quote "you all better tsop posting badly grammars and stuff bout me life you no have a life you life is going downhill" and then the van guys ate bunches of tasty cheeseburgers and wouldn't let the guy or his friend that he gave the ID to eat any of the cheeseburgers and they were sad.

So don't give away your ID or you'll be sad.

Henry · 03-05-2002, 01:56 PM

Met,

Let me put it simply. The game is designed so you can put it on up to 3 machines... for YOU, like a laptop, your home computer and maybe even at work. It was done that way for convenience.

Can you cheat ?? Sure, anyone can... but every person that does takes $30 away from Markus for his hard work... and considering commercial BB games don't hold a finger to this one, that would be a crime - whether you got caught or not.

There's many things in this world we do because they're simply the "right" thing to do, not because there's a way around the rules. Paying your own way is one of them.

Now let's get back to baseball

ps: Another thing... I have to believe you could try a bit harder in using English correctly. "UR a Dood" is funny once, but does get old fast. Join the crowd as an equal and everyone here will be glad to help.
