SH4 V1.4 liscense issue

Thanks for the replies I was expecting an email saying there were replies but never got it so sorry for being late with mine. I wasn’t really planning on spending money on a game I got for free just wanted to have any of the base game bugs fixed with the patches. It’s entirely playable on v1.2 but and updates I install are blocked by the publisher (Ubisoft) as the license is expired or revoked. Doesn’t work with any updates either from this site or from the official Ubisoft site. I have some experience running older games on newer laptops/PC so everything was taken out of the default download section and had its own root created. Steam is incompatible with the laptop I have sh4 on so that’s a no go. I’ve only played one mission on it so far and it seems fine other than mini subs freaking out when hit with a torp and rolling a mile away. I’m just extremely confused with how the license for the updates is expired/revoked but the game it’s self isn’t. I ran all the updates from the exe and it will install them but once I go to play it the license message pops up

I have had the disk ver since 2007 (or earlier) and never ever had to put a licence in, nor has it ever asked me for one. The box has a code sticky labelled inside which reads SH4-4X5Y-B161-W9AN-UUU0. I have never used it

Years later I bought the steam version and still I have never had to use any licence or code.

During all this time, any updates have never been blocked and I can obtain mods via Subsim
