Process to unlock additional PT accounts

cmp66 · 11-11-2021, 08:02 PM

I would like to get three additional accounts for PT. I understand I need to purchase another license. Once I have that, is there a process documented to properly configure this. I don't want to use another computer, I would like to use my existing installation and just switch between account.

Thanks

Each purchase of the PC game granted three although tbh I'm not even sure if that's relevant since the release of the mobile app. What you do need, either way, is a separate email address for each one. I stand to be corrected, but I'm not aware of any way of running multiple accounts from the same email address. You don't need that once signed up, and can switch within the app by logging out and logging in with the appropriate user name and password.

Good luck. Considering the time it takes me to run one, it's totally beyond me how anyone manages more than two!

If you have a separate license, what you do is unlicense your version of OOTP, then enter the new license key. Once you have done that, you will be able to create your three new accounts based on the normal process.

As long as you unlicense/relicense and NOT uninstall/reinstall your game, any of your saved games will be fine. As Herston said, you will need a separate email for each new login, but that is easily accomplished using something like Gmail (i.e. joeblow@gmail.com. and joe.blow@gmail.com are considered different email addresses, but both will re-direct to the same mailbox)

You can login to any of your PT accounts from any computer or mobile app. There is no need to switch license keys to access your original three accounts
