Default Activation requests question

Okay, I know already about the copy protection and I will be installing it on my new laptop. But I know I will reformat the laptop every few months because it slows down. So now I have used up my 3 activations after 10 months or so. But my question is what happens in the request phase? Do I just ask for 3 more activations and I can use it again provided it's on the same computer?
Thanks

I think you need to buy the game again, after used the 3 activations. Kinda silly -.-

theres actually another thread about this, just a few threads below this one, so you should have looked there,
but anyways once yiur 3 actvasions have been used then you email EA and ask for a new one

You can ask for one more activation and they will probably give it to you if you manage to get to them in a few days/weeks

no u dnt, u phone up EAs famously bad customer services and ask for more activations, then i presume u either tell them ur code thing and they put more activations on it or they give u a new code to put in.

I know there is but I wanna know if you will have to pay for it, how many activations you get on request or will you have to buy the game again.
Is it like Earth 2160 where when your activations are up you ask them to renew it and your fine playing on.
