Hey guys, I've bought PCM 2012 just regular on the internet, but the game has asked me -after I had it installed- for activation codes. I only have two activations left... What can I do about this? |

Once you run out just email them and they will restore them on your original key. Happened to me also, and they gave me more for free

Send who an email? The site where I bought it, or the makers of the game?
I'm happy I'm not the only one, haha. Thanks guys! |

In the manual of the game, you find "contact", if I'm not mistaken |

And just say that I ran out of activation keys? Hmm will do that, but I still have 2 left. |

If I were you, I'd do nothing. Contact them if you have none left, but now there isn't a problem, is there?

It should be noted that they refuse to give out new keys after a year or so.
But:
1. You do not need to activate the game every time you install the game, just do not un-register (or however it is called) when asked during un-installation.
2. If you plan to re-install Windows OS, then you can backup the keys in the registry. Once you have the backup, you can just reapply it into the registry after installing the game. (The easiest solution is to backup the key before installing any patches.)
Using the above tricks you should be fine for a long time, unless you switch the computer often. |

I never uninstalled the game. It just popped up, I think it might be because I rebooted my laptop.
I have the key stored in my files, so I can unlock it always if I want, but there are only 2 tries left I saw today. |
