BioShock: Only Two Installs

[Aug 22, 2007, 11:29 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

How many installs do we get? Transfer of ownership? on the 2K Forums (thanks Greybird) outline an issue that's been discovered with the SecuROM online activation required to play BioShock. Apparently the process will only allow for the game to be installed twice, which could obviously be a problem for folks who experience problems with their systems. The Steam Forums indicate that this problem afflicts the Steam edition of the game as well.

You are just limited to 2 active installs at one time.

That is a lot more reasonable. So the uninstall process must check in with the server and let it know that install XYZ is now gone and can be used again.

Clever...kudos for coming up with this system.
