There's a follow-up on One Angry Gamer to the recent report that multiple hardware changes to a computer with Battlefield Hardline installed caused the game's DRM to deactivate the game's installation. EA's rep for the game Jino Talens explains that Origin allows installation on five different machines per 24 hour period, and that anyone who actually changes hardware often enough to use all those activations can be accommodated by customer service. "Origin authentication allows players to install a game on up to five different PCs every 24 hours," he explains. "Players looking to benchmark more than five hardware configurations in one 24 hour period can contact our Customer Support team who can help."
