Got a new computer... How do I reactivate OOTP2007?

Crimson Avenger · 07-26-2008, 12:46 PM

I just got a new macbookpro. It being the height of baseball season now I really have to play some OOTP2007. I copied all the files from my old computer over to my new one, but I don't know how to activate it. I have the installation ID and activation key, but none of the text boxes I put them in recognize them. Esellerate says my activation code needs to begin with ST which it doesn't, and ootp 2007 says my activation code has to be exactly 36 characters long, which it isn't.

Help would be very much appreciated!

Just a guess but your old computer ran on windows and your new computer is a Mac. Sorry, but in that situation you would have to re-buy the game, the codes are not compatable across platforms.

My old computer was a mac (not intel). I feel like I just don't know where to put the codes to reinstall... I manually moved my saved games over and have been able to play them, but I'm worried that in a 6 months of game time or so that annoying little window will pop up and put my baseball managing days to a permanent halt.
