Reinstall Question

Crimguy · 08-16-2007, 12:17 AM

I bought the game back on March 20, according to my receipt. To resolve a few lingering issues, I'd like to reinstall. I can't seem to find the original download, and generally forgot what I did at the time.

1) Is the Demo download the full version?

2) Before I uninstall, should I unauthorize this computer via the eLicense thingy? Any howto available for this?

TIA,
Matt

Yes, although I believe the demo doesn't let you play a full season until you purchase (or, at least, license) it.

You should, if only because you only get two licenses per purchase, and if you don't unlicense this one you may have to deal with eLicense to get it back if you ever need to in the future.

Assuming you're using a PC (I don't know about Macs, sorry), go to Start --> Control Panel --> eLicense Control and there will be options to unlicense the game from there.

If that doesn't seem to work (there were issues a while back with the eLicense Control Panel not working properly in some operating systems, though I'm pretty sure those have been resolved), the other way to do it is to go to Start --> Run and type in:

"C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\OOTP Baseball 2007\ootp2007.exe" -unlicense

Obviously, change the actual path to the game .exe if you installed the game in somewhere other than that default location.

The important part is to include the -unlicense parameter at the end, which will bring up the unlicensing screen instead of loading the game itself.

Thanks Kai. I will have to unlicense it because I used both my licenses (on my desktop and notebook).
