Purchasing for a Difference Computer

djl81790 · 03-14-2014, 10:41 PM

I know I want to purchase OOTP 14 but have a question. If I want to play the game on a different PC than the one I purchase it on, how do I go about that?

If I order it from the webstore can I activate it on a separate computer? I already have the demo installed. If I enter the serial number into the demo I already installed will it work? Let me know what you guys know.

You have 2 licenses...so no problem installing on 2 different computers. Just install ootp on the second pc and enter your same serial.
Yes you can just add your serial to the demo to unlock it.

Let me explain my question a little better...

The PC I currently have the OOTP demo on had viruses on it at one point. Its probably nothing to worry about but I'd rather not enter credit card info into it if I can help it. It is the PC I want to play the game on though.

So if I were to use a separate computer to buy the game, how would that work?

You can do that. It would license on that non-infected computer. You can then download and license on the other one. You will have the gam eon both. You can then license the game on eother computer and move it to a 3rd. You can only have it active on 2 computers at a time. But if you run into trouble with a computer you can unlicense it an use another computer.

Don't be confused. You can order on any computer you want. and install on any computer you want. There is no correlation between the ordering process and the computer you play on as long as you have a valid email address, payment device and internet connection.

Obviously you can't install more than the 2 legal licenses you purchase.

I remember some years ago on the pre release Andreas got me a download link while I had lunch at an airport lounge and I was able to download and play on my work laptop on the flight home. I always think of that as the ultimate customer service.
