Well, that's right Aanker....there is a "CD-Key" on the back cover of the version 1.0 Manual. It looks something like this:
SH4-2T6Y-AS3D-YUI4-LKJ9
Its been a long time since I installed v1.0 on my computer, but if I remember correctly the "CD-Key" is asked for during the initial installation Wizard. Once you've verified the key, you'll not need to use it again. You WILL need to keep the original disk in the DVD player for the game to start.....but that's where Bug's problems start. His execution of the game looks for the disk, but isn't finding the correct file on the disk to verify its an original disk.....so the game doesn't start.
Its possible the disk is faulty, causing the execution file not to find what its looking for. But, for my money bugs has tried just about everything there is to try.....that's why I though purchasing the latest DVD v1.5 SH4 game might be the best bet for him. It's not worth the aggravation if the old disk is not working as expected.
