Well, I did include pictures of the box, dvd and CD key in my submission to the Ubi support folks.

However, I'll see what I can do with your info - thanks!

Anyone got any hints for getting the Encore version (fully patched without Starforce) to install? I keep getting this error no matter where I install it to and no matter if I install from hard drive or DVD...

Erm, seems it'll install to Program Files, the default, just fine. I guess I'll just move it once it's installed. :P

interesting new (?) feature:
lately I bought the so-called "Steel-Edition", including SH3 (liked to have an emergancy disk, in case my old one gets scratched) and SH4 (some day I will sail the Pacific too).
I was surprised when the package included only a cd-key for SH4 and none for SH3??!!

The SH3 I bought online from Direct2Drive a couple of weeks ago required no CD key.

I see.
then there's actually no key needed for newer versions of the game.

No key was required for the version I bought 2 weeks ago.

I've bought my DRM free copy through subsim.com (with great help from Neal).

It's a bundle (SHII and SHIII) for $9.99

It's a win-win situation:
So you help SubSim and you get yourself a startforce free copy.
