I have the D2D version which has a different executable from the disc version, does not require a key disk in the drive because it didn't come on a disk. Options for 1.5 today are to buy the whole "gold" version, if available, requiring the key disk and all that farting around with StarForce, or a STEAM version which is always a pain for a moddable game. Main reason I didn't buy SH5 was DRM. It's not a matter of principle, it's a problem I've always had keeping key disks clean and unscratched. Not to mention all the trouble I had removing StarForce after uninstalling SH3, I eventually had to format the main drive and reinstall XP to get the DVD player working again after ubisoft stomped all over my system registry with their paranoid DRM crap.
