Securerom -inline removal with uninstall

[FraG_AU 10]

Would be nice if securerom "deactiavted" your key when you uninstall through windows installer. For example like in FarCry2, when you uninstall the game the key will deactivate auto for you.

Be weary with the digital download versions, that you manually deactivate your key by using this program before deleting/uninstalling as each install on a different OS counts as a PC.

I'm sitting locked out as a result of bug finding between OS'es :(

Off course the major issue is that a reinstall is very often the only solution due to HD crash or forced OS reinstall, in which cases you'll never even get the chance to do a proper uninstall... I guess you found this out now. Sorry for your loss.

In my case it was trying to find the best OS for performance and stability. And unfortunately unistall was not deactivating my key.. Sure it wont help peeps who have a hdd crash but it will help everyone else

i dont understand exactly what the problem is.

when i uninstall my didital download (eg having deleted something by accident) and install it again on my system does it matter if i delete starforce?

He means that if you have a digital download you are only allowed to install it on a certain number of different systems (usually 3 or 5) this is an attempt to stop people passing on games to their friends. Clearly, legitimate users will feel poorly treated if they are only allowed to install a game a certain number of times, so a feature is included whereby one can choose to deactivate an installation and then uninstall the game, and this will "give back" the install that was used to install the game that time.

Reading that back it's not a terribly clear description, but the point is that it may well make a big difference and you should always use the proper programs to alter the installation of a digital download.

so if i remove starforce i can install and deinstall it as often i want?

Not sure how the devs have implemented it. I used FarCry2 as an example, since when you uninstall that it deactivates your key so you are free to install on another system.

Personally steam does a great job, you can install it on 10000 machines and its ok, but only one will play at a time :) (Well I have had games installed on my thrashing and muck about drive countless of times.. and being an "overclocker" I frequently muck about with installs and never had a problem..
