Forums - PC - EA posts DRM deauthorization tool

Check it out here:  http://activate.ea.com/deauthorize/

From the website:

"Certain EA PC games with SecuROM digital rights management technology allow users to concurrently "authorize" up to five computers at the same time to play the games. Users can then play the game on any authorized computer they choose. If your EA PC game was released after May 2008 and has a machine authorization limit, you can now manage your computer authorizations using EA De-Authorization Tools!

For a list of EA games with machine authorization limits released after May 2008, click here.

If you choose to take advantage of the de-authorization too, you have two options."


Interesting move on EA's part.



Around the Network

If only there's an "April fools SUCKAH!" in there somewhere.

Anyway, took them long enough. Perhaps they grew tired of getting phone calls of people wanting to install the game one more time? I mean, whatever happened to "People don't install games more than 3 times?"

Just remember that anybody who uses these tools is a pirate :P



I thought they meant they removed the DRM. This isn't good enough to get me to buy the games.




 

I only use Steam for PC Games.
