heyjoojoo Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hello,I have one computer that I'm activating EM4 on. It has three profiles set up where one is the admin, the other two are for my users (my mother and nieces). I installed it using the admin profile and activated it there too. Now when my niece wants to play the game, she needs to activate it too? The otther profiles (both are configured as 'users',) also need to activate the game?I thought since it was activated under the admin profile and as long as it's installed on the same computer that it doesnt need to be activaited again. No?KAreem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomperson139 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I don't think it needs activating again. You might need to enter the admin password when they want to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjoojoo Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I don't think it needs activating again. You might need to enter the admin password when they want to play it.Nope. It was asking for the whole serial again and I so I need to keep retrieving the code from the Direct 2 Drive site. Frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I thought you said this game came on your laptop thtat you bought off eBay...Anyways,I can't remember 100% but I thought that there was a way to install it to work on all profiles, for all users... If not, then you'll just need to go on all three accounts and put in the serial.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted that on the other thread.Maybe there is a place on the activation screen that does ask about all users but I'll need to pay a little more attention.

heyjoojoo Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 So, I uninstalled it while in the admin account and then reinstalled it. It didnt ask for the activation code. But when I tried to launch it under the standard user profile, it asked for the activation code. Does that sound right? EDIT: I dont think that this game can be run under a standard profile. I think it needs to be administrator. I was having strange problems like the units not responding to mouse clicks. I'd hate to have to reinstall it again. I'm not sure what the deal is. Has anyone else tried to run the game under standard user accounts?KAreem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 While talking about standard user account, why would you need it? It is frustrating for everything you want to do....I remember Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 having problems with that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
