A couple of questions

[RapidllBlade]

Hello all. First post.

 

I am interested in this sim. I just have a couple of questions.

 

1) Is the dl version the same as what will come out on DVD?

 

2) It says I get 8 reactivations. Does that mean I can reinstall 8 times (if HDD goes for crap etc) but after that I have to purchase the software again?

 

3) If I keep the dl on my HDD can I reinstall it as many times as I want?

 

Thanks all

From what has been said so far, yes, it will be the same thing. It will not come out with the new patch, not enough time (patch is hoped for in March).

 

I have had 3 situations come up (one because I messed up, two from trying to use a 3rd party program) where I have had to reinstall. From everything I've asked, I only used ONE activation. I only had to put in the serial code # during the initial installation, my reinstalls did not ask for it. I was told that if I only used the # once, I only used one activation.

 

There are also 10 DE-activations. So in reality, you have 18 of them to use. If you deactivate and reinstall, they have said that will NOT use an activation (but will take 1 deactivation off; so I just think of it as 18 total times).

 

They've also said, if for some insane reason, you do use everything, to contact them and they'll take it on a case-by-case basis.

 

So it is not really installs, it is ACTIVATIONS that count (and de-, of course)

 

Awesome Sim, best I've seen, no doubt. Not perfect, some bugs/improvements could be made, but overall the best sim put out to date (from my standpoint).

 

I say buy it, the download was INCREDIBLY easy and safe!
