you need to be able to install it on your machine, but it'is possible to keep the game and associated files on a USB

Really? I could D/L the game on a USB chip the size of a postage stamp, carry it around with me on a key chain, and play the game wherever I found a computer?
Somehow that doesn't sound right.

you're right MM , the licence only allows it to be played on one machine at once, so each time you install/play it on a different machine you trigger the key/activation process.

Would I have to re-enter the ID# and Key each time I used it on a diff computer?

I think, once you've authenticated an install, that key can't be used to authenticate on another machine. Sort of like a flash bulb (for those of you who are old enough to remember flash bulbs).

That's what I thought, so how could you D/L it to a USB chip and use it somewhere else ?

I thought you could use it some where else but once you activate it with your key your previous install on the first computer will not work any more and you have to request a second key that is what I thought I read some where....

think is i dont have admin rights (yet) so i cant install anything at work comp. And if i do i leave trace so thats is not good either.
So i decided install EL straight on USB key, not copy paste from my computer.
And i dont want to upset my GF cuz i spend more time with ''silly games'' and i dont pay enough attention to her

:grrrr:
I have plenty of free time during my nightshift so why dont spend it with something interesting

Honestly i dont mind if ill have to type the code again and again, more important is play this game.

With that history I would skip the game playing at work and find a GF that would enjoy the game also. Good Luck.

Yeah, we appreciate your loyalty & dedication, but work should come first.
