Default cd key

I guys, don't know if this is the right area for this topic but I formated my computer and now I can't reuse my cd key for sh5. Any tips would be awesome.

As far as I know there is no limit on number of SH5 installs. Provide more details - why can't you reuse your CD Key? Did you lose it? Does the game refuse to accept it? What does it say? Was your game a legal copy?

Indeed. You should have unlimited install so long as you have your key.

I think he wants to register his key to another (new) account. That should not be possible, but you can use your new installed SH5 when logging into your u-play-account. So when installing SH5 on another machine, you only need to log into your old account and you can start the game.

Ubisoft developed the game. they also developed SH 4 and 3, both of which were great games. lets see how far you get by using all the mods without the game installed.

Was about to post something similar, but resigned - to avoid spam or trolling. But yes, you're right. We wouldn't have SH fun if not Ubisoft. They are not perfect, but they deserve our warm hugs.

In the climate that the simulation genre is in combined with the state of SH5, we could always use reminders like this. Sunshine is always welcome.

Glad you got it sorted. Good Hunting!

You do realize though that such an error means all of the Canadians on here get to bombard you with Newfie jokes, right?
