Hi there.

Get onto EA support about it, these activation restrictions are a ****ing joke, it's supposed to be 3 different PC's.

Try this:-

You may need to register for the site, but I just put my Spore account details in and it let me post a support question.

Hope that helps.

EA e-mail support is useless. When I had a problem with C&C Conquer the first decade (not being able to play on-line matches) they had no other suggestions than to download a patch for a different version of the game.

Yeah, I'm still left hanging waiting for another reply from them, if I don't get answer, I'll be sending a few e-mails to some consumer watchdogs.

Hi all

I have the similar issue with the amount of registrations. I had to install spore onto the windows partitions of my 2 laptops to get it to work because of ea server issues. Now that it is working for MAC I cant install on both machines because I have exceeded my limit!!!!

Uninstalling it from the windows partitions doesnt fix the problem either

Any ideas?? I have contacted tech help but no reply yet.

thanks

installation restrictions are just ***, why cant ea just link the installation to your spore account and you can load it up as many times as you like. Blizzard did this with wow and its a much better system. lookin at the forums it just looks like EA have released an untested buggy piece of lalalala u can only install 2 times b4 you have to buy another copy of bugfest...i can even start it...nice one EA

Forgive me Baker, but I believe you want to know the truth about this..

As you may know I´m the owner of the Secusphere. One of my staff, Midfingr installed twice Mass Effect Great Game. Bad Copyprotection

So I post here to inform you that Securom is not acting with precission and professional behaviour and is annoying your customers. Some situations are avoidable like this one.

I believe the OP when he says he has only had 2 installs.
