What the...? Now what do I do (License)?

I originally installed ootp5 on an older computer. Then I wiped it off of there and put it on my new machine. Unfortunately, I just had to reformat and fix a bunch of stuff. Now when trying to install ootp5 again, I am told that I have already used all the licenses I am entitled to or something like that. Sooo, what do I do? Don't tell me I'm supposed to buy the game again. Did I do something wrong?

You had to unlicense the game first, which I'm assuming you didn't do. I think you need to contact ViaTech, they handle this sort of stuff. I don't think you'll need to buy the game again.

Is there going to be the same license stuff in next year's product?

Most likely

You know, it would be a really good idea if the uninstaller for the game had a message saying you should first unlicense the game before proceeding with uninstall.

Ya, man--I always thought that unlicensing was just for selling the game or something, and therefore wasn't of much real value. I guess I should have been spending more time on the forum. I wish there was an alternative to the current license system. Oh well.
