Running Sins on Two PCs

February 21, 2008 2:19:09 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I travel a lot and for extended time spans. I bought Sins direct (download & boxed) from Frogboy et al. I want to play on my gaming rig at home and on my laptop while I am traveling for 2 or 3 weeks at a time.

Can I legally do this? And yes, it does matter to me. If it did not, I wouldn't be asking.

Can you also play online with 2 PC's using the same serial-key? Im asking because I own 2 PC's, but my younger brother uses the other one.

You can over LAN.

Trust me, I've tried.

I'm not sure if it works for Ironclad Online though.

You cannot log onto ICO simultaneously with multiple machines using the same serial. LAN play is however permitted.

Which is awesome.

I play it over LAN with my nephew on a daily basis.

You realize it is PERMITTED, and not really moral, right? If you are playing daily on two machines with two people, you really should do the right thing and have two copies.

I think they permit LAN games to allow people to try it out, and to allow people to have LAN games without hauling their own personal PC to their friends place.

My friend used my copy of SINS to play on the LAN with me for a few games, then when he realized he liked it, he ordered his own copy. (FYI They are sold out everywhere in Edmonton Alberta LOL). Its the right thing to do since these guys are such a small company compared to the larger ones.
