Existing Installations Need Registration

Randomizer · 06-07-24, 06:58 PM

I recently replaced my hard disk drive with a solid state hard drive and so far so good. Except for my Silent Hunter III and IV installations. Attempts to run the games lead to the game registration window opening with my user code already input.

Attempting to register fails as apparently, the UBISoft registration page no longer seems to exist. I have seven versions of modded SH4, all of which ran fine with the old HD but do not run anymore with the solid state drive.

My multiple SH3 installations had the same problem, except for my OneAlex 53 installation and I restored my stock SH3 install using the SH3_Original_EMMA file downloaded from Subsim but the other versions, including Fifi's mods and CCoM will need to be installed from scratch, a time consuming but pretty straightforward evolution.

SH4 though is a problem. I have the original disk but this does no good if registering a fresh installation from the disk has become impossible.

I tried deleting all of the game save folders in C:\Documents and then running Multi-SH4 but the registration problem persist although I had no realistic expectations that doing this might circumvent the registration system.

Any thoughts or advise on how to fix the problem without the draconian solution used for SH3 will be gratefully received. Thank you in advance.
