Lock On Activation on Windows 7

[jubajuba]

I'm testing the Windows 7 beta and I can't activate Lock On.

I've tried running LockOn.exe with and without administrative priveleges and in compatibility mode for Win XP and Vista.

I guess the activation program checks for the OS version before activating and exits because the OS Name strig does not match some criteria. Is there a way to work around this? I ran LOMAC (I bought Flaming Cliffs today) without (or at least none I've not also experienced on Win XP/Vista) problems.

FC does work on Windows 7. Just update StarForce drivers.

See item 2 "Versions before 5.5".

This worked brilliantly. Thanks, although i resent the use of this activation based system. What happens when the activation servers are taken off-line. Will I be able to play LOMAC in 10 years time? Anyway, thanks for excellent support. :)

The same thing that happens when you accidently scratch your disc. ;)
