desktop and laptop possible?

[rudyt2039]

I have OOTP on my home desktop computer. Is there anyway to also have the same account/game on my laptop without having to purchase an entire new game to load onto my laptop?

The FastSpring-sold game comes with two licenses. So, you can install the game on two computers but files are stored locally on a given computer.

As to running the same sim on both devices, it's best if you use the Steam version because Steam is a service that you sign into on any computer and your games is in the cloud.

I need guidance exactly where to go and the steps to utilize my 2nd license.

Help!

Ok, I'm going to assume you have a FastSpring version. If you have your license key from your receipt, you can skip to the link and install the game on the laptop and continue from there. The next couple of steps presume you lost the key.

First let's ensure you can see hidden files.

Select the Start button, then select Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization. Select Folder Options, then select the View tab. Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then select OK. We are doing this because the AppData folder is typically hidden so people don't mess with it by accident.

Then navigate through the file folders to: C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Roaming\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 23\config .... and look for the key.cfg file. Obviously in the file folder I pasted "Name" is your name.

Right-click key.cfg and open it with Notepad. The computer won't know what to open it with so follow the prompts to manually select a program to open it with. There, in Notepad, is your key. Copy it. Paste it into a Word document so you have it and save that document. You will need it again in a bit.

Go here:

and download the (presumably) FastSpring version for a PC. Then to play the full version of the game, input that license key on the new computer/laptop.

Keep in mind that all the local files of your PC saves are not on your laptop. If you want to play the same sim, buying the Steam version in the future is probably the way to go. Does that make sense?

Issue being depending on save file size may not be eligible for Steam cloud.

I know FHM runs into that issue
