CD key violation?!
I just got a CD key violation for a game that I am hosting, telling me that I am using the same key in multiple installations.
I do have 2 installations (home and work), but I never use them at the same time. I did my move from home, and then had to switch 2 other players to AI from work.
I have purchased sufficiently many keys to make all my activities legal. It was just more convenient for me to do a 'tar/untar' from one machine to the other than to go through the install/patch process again. And I obviously forgot to update the 'key' file, but my questions are technical:
- Why is this a CD key violation? What are the precise rules and where are they documented?
- Why didn't it warn me instead of accepting my turns, and then just not executing my moves? This can ruin a whole game. :-(
I hate DRM and technocracy *grr*
