Activation
The English version has 8 activations and 10 deactivations. The Quick Start Guide (pdf) has 26 pages dealing with Activation, Deactivation and Disk Protection. See our comments on this in the Documentation section later in the review.
For our English version, after the simple installation I filled-in the serial number when prompted and was ready-to-fly.
If you have an itch to purchase the Russian version, here's a great how to guide. Pay particular attention to the screen where it describes the Serial Number notice you should receive. That is key, pun intended. Make sure you copy that Serial Number and keep it safe, maybe in a couple of vaults. It's important. You cannot use the product without it.
With the Russian version you get 3 activations and 10 deactivations. Deactivations are used to deactivate an install before the user makes major hardware changes or reinstalls their OS. By deactivating first, they save one of their activations. |
I specifically said as long as it was downloadable anywhere any time and was like steam or something. I highly doubt SoW will be like blackshark, and I will not download Blackshark due to the restrictions. The question wasn't "will you download SoW if it is like blackshark?", it was would you download SoW, I answered that question.

That is complete bullcrap and I'm tired of the people who say "only people who complain about DRM are pirates". How can you say that when you know full well the crap people are going through with the Securom on Il2:1946 and Vista. And I know personally several people who's pc's were literally damaged by Starforce, that crap was the devil! The pirates don't complain about DRM, because they DON'T HAVE DRM, they crack it, it's the legitimate user that suffers, like all the people who post on the Ubi forums every day saying they bought 1946 and it wont tun because of securom!
