Authentication without disk?
One for the mods this really.
I've got an X61 laptop from work that I wish to play FM2008 on. Now unless it's in the docking station I don't have a disk drive. Is there another way I can authenticate that it's a proper install without the disk? I understand the need for checking the disk due to piracy but there are more and more ultra portables on the market that just don't have room for a disk drive?
Many Thanks
Chris

Interesting question. SI will probably sometime have to improve their "anti-piracy" policies, but meanwhile it will probably be better to just buy the digital-download versions to avoid this sort of problem.

Lucho_ TBH I didn't even realise that there was a digital-download version! That pretty much solves it.

i dont think you should have the free copy. then you could keep your new copy and take the disk back.

Put the disk in when it's in the docking station. Start FM. Take the disk out. Continue.

For FM08 (actually it's WWSM08) I have gone to the digital-download version, and it has worked great for me. Would recommend it 100%. Maybe you can do it for 09.
