Re-installing UBM but forgot S/N

Pilot_76 · 11-22-10, 06:35 PM

Hi there,

I need help on this issue...

I've brought SH4+manual(serial) but only the UBM add-on disk (no manual) on my vacations (can't help, I'm addicted to SH...) .

I plan to reinstall everything from scratch but I'm afraid that the UBM disk might ask for a serial number (which is half-world away on my drawer). Anyway, can I install SH4, update it to 1.4 then install UBM to 1.5 without any problem or will I have to reinstall everything again from v1.0?

Sorry I didn't make myself clear... here are my options:

From a clean install SH4 v1.0:

A) If UBM requires its own S/N (which I forgot back home):

-Update SH4 to v1.4
-Install mods for v1.4
-Play only SH4 v1.4
-Go Home
-Update it with UBM to 1.5
-Will I make a mess with the mods? saved games?

B) If UBM does not require a S/N

-Update SH4 v1.0 to UBM v1.5
-install mods v1.5 compatible
-Be happy

so, A or B???

You kinda gives the answer yourself!

If it requires S/N, you'll have to stick with 1.4 until in homeport again...

Sorry, but I can't remember if UBM had it's own S/N, but it wouldn't hurt to try an install.

If you're seriously infected/addicted, you'll go out and find the Gold Edition. No more hassle any more!

Disable any mods before update. And yes, your saves are no good any more...

Happy Hunting!

That's my dilemma!

If I install SH4 1.4 only (without 1.5 UBM) and keep adding mods when I get home I'll have to do install everything again from scratch to get 1.5...

As a reminder to all. Use a Sharpie and write the s\n on disk.

If you're really serious.. SH4 Gold, Amazon.com, new $16.00, used $8.00
You can't even get a quarter pounder and nuggets for 8 bux
