I have an original Wolfenstein 3D on a 3.5" floppy and have installed it for my son's, which are now getting into pc gaming, so that they can experience what their pops grew up with. I even loaded up Doom, Duke Nuken, Descent, and how about Quake?
Point is, in the future, will I be able to load up COD for my grandson(s) (God willing Im still alive)?

Name one game you have today in your library that you can't play because the DRM was never removed and the DRM company went belly up. You know I actually have more trouble with the older games because they required you to have the manual and insert a word from a specific page,paragraph, and line. The manuals get worn out or lost, and lo and behold I can't play that game anymore. DRM does tend to get cracked in time, so I highly doubt you would ever run into that issue 25 or so years from now. Not to mention if you did I am sure there would be other means of getting your hands on a copy of Cliff of Dover.

One time activation per install. not per running of the .exe.
