Thanks guys, yes the 3rd party stuff was shadow ware.
One final question, does your DVD have the serial number printed on it. I have SHII and it has loads of other stuff like the part number, and all the logos for Qtime, UBI soft and Focus MM. On the SHIII dvd ithas the DVD ROM symbol, UBI soft logo and the words "Silent hunter III" across then bottom half of the sub image. It then has the words Install key code and then the 25 character code in a box with the web address underneath.
The disk has been pressed and has the copyright info around the edge, but is seems strange to have the key code on the disk and not on the back of the manual. All the media that came with it is glossy and looks genuine... The Disk came from Europe, so it has slightly different wording on the back of the box ! If it is an iffy copy then its a ruddy good one !
