[quote]really wish the devs would allow mulitpule accounts on same IP address. after all we DID buy the game. Why not put prices up by 5% to cover the ability to use it on 2 or more PCS[/quote] Are you asking for one serial id being usable for 2 simultaneous online games? BTW, the serial id isn't really linked with your IP but more with your e-mail. And you can already install the game on multiple PCs. But there can be only one online with Stardock servers.

Concerning Steam offline mode. Somehow, I think the problem isn't that Steam has an offline mode but more the fact that you must run Steam to play your games and by default, it requires an online connexion. It is like Impulse which allows you to choose where your game can be downloaded and installed. But unless you look at the options behind the top left icon, you would wondering why Impulse keeps downloading and installing game on a small partition when there is a bigger availab

Well, since you have entered his e-mail for the gift, his e-mail is linked with his serial. So he just need to do a serial id lookup based on his e-mail, to have the serial id e-maild to him. Try this page https://www.stardock.com/support/ with his e-mail.

[quote]You must be doing something wrong. I bought Sins in December and activated it through Impulse once. Since then I've installed Sins on at least 3 of my laptops and computers.

If you copy files or use Impulse anywhere, you will see than an activation is required. But that activation is transparently handled when using Impulse to download/update games.

I am perharps mistaken, but it looks like that the problem with Demigod is linked to the following facts: - the retail copy is copy free. - there was a 0-day patch available at launch requiring registration of the serial id, and it can be associated with only one e-mail. - in order to choose suceesfully Internet in the Demigod menu, you need to have the latest available version - the retail version was programmed to check if updates were available as soon
