Thomas and Shaun, I Think Che may be using a different licencing system for the new RR. When you Best Regards, Hayden -----Original Message----- From: Gamers [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Thomas Wardenter your key, you create a .lic licence file which registers the game, and which you can back up and reuse whenever you like on that computer. However, you can use the key on ore than one computer. I myself am in thr process of converting to a Windows 7 machine and so put RR 2 on both systems. As far as registration goes, they both work just fine. Sent: Friday, January 18, 2013 8:13 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions Hi Shaun, Well, the licensing system that Railracer uses is pretty crappy to begin with. I remember looking into it for some of my own projects a few years back and I was not at all impressed with it. The first issue was it wasn't all that accessible, and a lot of .NET developers have nothing good to say about it from security complaints, buggy code, to .NET compatibility issues. So I think RR could use some other security system to be frank about it. All the same I know what you are getting at. There has to be a balance between security and end user satisfaction. There is such a thing as being too secure and it can be a headache if the protection interferes with the customers lawful use of the software. At a certain point legal or not cracking does seem like a promising solution just to get rid of the annoying security system. Cheers!
