Title: Installation limitations
Post by: Dr.Ben on October 28, 2009, 10:55:14 pm
First of all, the demo is awesome! ::)

I'm going to buy one "Win+Mac+Linux+Sondtrack" version. There is 3 different installer in it, for 3 different OS, right?
The main question: Is there any limitation on installation?

I will explain, what I meant.
1) Can I install game on my Linux notebook and on another Windoze machine simultaneously?
2) Can I install game on my computer, complete the game, then change some hardware, reinstall (or change) OS, then install and play game again?

As far as I can remember you get a link to a page where you can download the installers seperately. My downloads kept failing & I had to keep starting again, so I assume that you're able to download all 3.

No idea about the rest, but I expect that you can have it on more than one machine at once.

Yes, JD has made them all DRM free.

No, I'm talking about something else! Is there any limitations, e.g. "hardware binding with network registration", which prohibits me to reinstall game, when I change some hardware or OS in my computer? What if I install the game on both of my computers (one with Windoze, and one with Linux)? All of installed copies will work simultaneously?

I know some crazy software developers, which "limits number of installation", which force you to pay again, when you just upgrade your computer. And I want to avoid this.

So you want to tell, that there is no any limitations?

(BTW, who is JD?)

Yes, there are no "limits number of installation".  And JD is Jackub Dvorsky, the founder of Amanita Design!  (do some research before you post, dopey!)   Sorry, I was overtired and grumpy when I wrote that.   ::)
