Question????

November 22, 2008 11:54:22 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

    I'm hoping to get a new harddrive soon, will I have any problems regestering and updateing SoaSE?  I get the impression it can only be updated on one harddrive.

                                                                                        P.S. I think Impulse is very handy.

answer.

I'm not sure how many different copies you can have in parallel or if there even is a limit. I run it on two machines and it is no problem. the one still has the beta 3 patch, this one has 1.10. so, from experience I'd say it should not be any problem.

I once heard you can have two copies at any time and that you can use them for lans too. I think it was done to encourage spread and make it easy to play with a friend who may then proceed to pick the game up. at least I have been able to play with my single copy, legally, with a friend of mine. he eventually got the game.

If you copy the entire game folder over to the new drive, and tell Impulse to install the game to the new folder, it won't download everything again.

So if I get a new harddrive and install the game on it I won't be able to get the updates.

Is this true?

Sins has no activations. You can get a new HD and install it and update it just as you did the first time

yep, that's what makes it cool. its not like EA, where there's a limit on installs.
