This topic has been disscussed before.

I don't blame you for not searching though, I think you are new, looking at your posts

Welcome to the forum! I'm Gloaty Gloat, how 'd you do?

Anyway the answer, which I got from another topic disscussing the same thing------is No.
This is because of the licence key works only once for an install. So no.

Hope that answered your question - enjoy ship simulator!  ;D

Sorry Gloat, but you're not entirely right here.

Indeed, the answer is No.

But it's not because you can only use the key once for one install.

It is, because it would violate the End User License Agreement. The rules state that you may only use this game for one player, on one pc. This is for piracy reasons, obviously.

But, there is one exception.

If you want to use the game on a second pc to be able to create a dedicated  multiplayer server, you are allowed to install it on a second pc.

But!

You may not use that second installment to play. So you may play on your main pc, and the server application runs on the second pc.

If a familiymember or friend would be playing along with you, and you would get caught like that on one of the servers, you risk getting banned from both MP and the forum.

So, you may only PLAY the game on one pc, for one user. (Of course a friend you may have over, may play on this one pc too, if you take turns. But you are responsible for your account at all times.)


Hope that clears things up!

And welcome to the forums btw, gjmonaco!!  ;D

Regards,
Fred

  Indeed, welcome to the Forum - &nd Merry Christmas! :)
 
  I think you’ll much enjoy SS 2008 – even on ‘just’ one PC.
 
  I just gave my husband SS 2008 CE for Xmas (a bit early, but he wanted to check it out on his box).  He loves it! :)
  (He’s already done some Missions… I still haven’t even looked at any…   :o  ).
  You guys and your ‘Missions!’  ;)
 
   Kindest regards,
   Chrystine

Don't forget that we had loads of quality-checked missions available for free download on Creators Forum. Many of them are not available elsewhere.

Just checked, ad we have 55 missions available, with over 800 downloads made so far.
