2nd Copy registration

before I do it, want to check

from Sins Forums

G'day,

I've bought a 2nd copy of Sins for LAN play with mates that come over, however I want to check weather I should register it with the same account that my 1st game is with (and thus possibly causing issues with both copies logging in at once online) or weather the game will allow it as long as each copy is logged in using a different profile.

 Thanks.

well... i hate to break it too you...

but...

for LAN play... you only need one copy.

For ICO you need cd keys, yes, but for LANs... the game is very nice, and will let you install on your friends computer for LAN games.

so... basicly... next time its your friends birthday... you have a really easy present... a slip of paper with a cd key so that he can register his copy of sins with ICO, and he can have his own account, and play on ICO with the rest of us. (not to mention, you can set up passworded (or friends only) games... and you no longer have to be on a lan to play eachother.)

 

now... for the actualy answer to your question... would registering two copies cause wierd things to happen... I have no idea.

We play online with other mates at times, so a 2nd cdkey is still useful.

I registered the 2nd copy, no issue, but cant login with the same account at the same time on both PC's, guess I need to contact support.

Thanks :)

Impulse is not designed to handle multiple registrations of the same thing on one account, so you should put them on separate accounts to make it easiest.

I'm sure they would be happy to help you get the copies on separate accounts.  I mean, you bought two copies of the game; can they really not help you?

When you email in, just let us know what email address the second registration needs to be on and we will get it taken care of.
