Title Bout on a new computer?

Dave1877 · 09-13-2004, 02:27 PM

Hi, I have had TBCB since about April and have played it a lot, but I have recently bought a new laptop and would like to install the game on that.

My laptop doesn't have the internet, so would there be any way to register the game on my new laptop offline?

Please give me instructions on how I can install TB on my laptop. Thank you.

Install the game. When you run it, if I recall there is a button marked "offline license". Click it. Cut and paste the text into a textfile (use Notepad). Save it, shove it on a floppy, take it to a computer that DOES have net access, go to the address it said, cut and paste the text, hit the submit button. It generates a license that you then cut and paste to a file, slap back on the floppy, go back to your non-internet laptop, slap it in there and VOILA!

It's quite simple. If I've made it sound complicated, I apologise. I recently did this with both OOTP and TB. Works beautifully.

Not a problem. I think offline systems are rarer and rarer these days, so very few people have probably done it.
