Bypass 1.5 activation

MattM1121 · 03-18-11, 04:42 PM

Greetings folks,

I got a new Dell XPS with the latest gen i7 (2720QM) and the intel/nvidia graphics set up. First thing I did was to install SH IV and 1.5.

Sadly I'm out of activations.

I went to UBI online and did the "Ask a Question", but I suspect I won't be hearing from them.

I hate to ask this as I really prefer letgit software. But is there any way - short of just using 1.4 - to get around the activation?

Thanks for any help with this.

'Activations'? Is your copy the download version? I have the 'Gold' disc version, and I've never activated anything. Obviously the only thing I can recomend is to get that version. Sorry I don't have any other answers.

Also, legit versions are the only kind allowed for discussion here. Anyone linking you to any other kind would be facing a permanent ban.

I got the downloaded version. I just now received an email stating my code has been reset.

So the Gold version of SH IV doesn't have any activation requirements? Hmmmm....might have to look into that.

Thanks for the response.

Had a problem with this myself last week. Rebuilt a computer, went to install my 1.5 download. "Unknown error." Got a rather quick response from support resetting something, and it ran just fine.

I was about five minutes from heading to the store to pick up a disc when I got the email.

The version on disc doesn't. I don't know about the download.

Because of a computer problem, I had to do a full re-install. Due to a scratched disk, I had to buy a new copy of SH4

Good news is that SH4 is about $9.00 these days. I did not buy any "gold" version.

When I installed the game, there was no authentication or activation at all.

At no time was I ever asked to enter in the CD key code or anything.

I just got the gold edition for 9.99$ at Direct2Drive for my laptop. Now I won't dread long and boring meetings anymore!
