Requested a new Activation or Key
 

Hello All

I was just wondering something?

I originally purchased SH3 from Direct Drive about 2 1/2 years ago. In that time I have used up two activation keys. I believe each key gives you 5 activations before the code is no longer any good.

Well I formated my hard drive yesterday and reinstalled SH3 once again. And after was informed that i had (ZERO)activations left. So I sent away for another key for use in the future. I was just wondering how many times I will be sent these codes/keys? Is there a limit?

Only reason I have used up two activation keys is because my hard drive is so small ( 40GB) and as many of you know hard drives fill up quick and after awhile tend to get real sluggish.

Anyways..just wondering how many times I will be allowed to receive a new key?

Thanks :)

PS..formatting your hard drive and reinstalling is a pain in the ass but it sure feels good afterwards...SO MUCH FASTER:yeah:

Yeah, or you could get yourself a reg.database cleaner, such a small piece of software costs a little of course, but since I have had such software, I have not made a system format since once in 2007.
This is the one, I use:

and do yourself the favour to register a lifetime license, it's the cheapest in the long run.
A 40gb harddrive ain't very big either, if you can afford it, then why not a 100gb+ harddrive? Plenty of room for both programs and games, and other material... :yeah:

Larger hard drives are rather cheap these days so you'd do well to get one.

Since you've just reinstalled everything now might be a good time to make an image of your hard drive so the next install is simply a case of writing that image. No need to reinstall everything program by program then and no need for codes.

I bought SH3 a couple of month's ago via amazon.com. Patch 1.4b is included and there is no serial number. I don't need any serial when installing SH3. :)

I found this serial (below) on the internet:

No serial numbers please: reallydedpoet

From the SUBSIM FAQ

Maybe this one doesn't expire?

Looking into this :yeah:


Thanks!

Well..I have been wasting everyone's time including Direct2Drives.

I have been dragging a saved copy of the game "Silent Hunter 3 Application" from my desktop to my lap top (wireless connection) and transferring back over after every format of my drive.

So because of this I am given only so many chances to open the file.

I didn't realize that I could actually download the file from Direct2Drive any time I wanted. Just as long as I log onto my account. :doh:


My bad!

Thanks guys!

Glad you got it solved :yep:
