Electronic Theatre has details about plans for copy protection in
Football Manager 2009, saying the upcoming Windows and MacOS football
(soccer) game will use new technology created by Uniloc. The new scheme will
prevent users from being able to play the game before its official release
(apparently historically a problem for this series). This new Uniloc DRM will be
activation based, so no disc is required to play, and from the description it
sounds like they've been listening to complaints about SecuROM and are hoping to
avoid similar controversy: "Uniloc’s software works in much the same was as
traditional DRM protections, the user is given a number of personal licences
tied to their activation key and can use these as required to
activate/deactivate their game. SEGA have worked hard with Uniloc to ensure that
the user experience is the best it has ever been with copy protection and a huge
leap forward is the removal of the ‘disc in the drive’ requirement of previous
years. We have listened to customer feedback and have chosen Uniloc as a result.
There are no hidden surprises with Uniloc, the protection software is completely
removed if you choose to on uninstall and there are no blacklists, or hidden
drivers stopping other applications from running." Thanks
N4G.
