What is securom DRM?

[bloxland]

ok, what is it.

and what does it mean by the limit of activations???

does it mean that if you uninstall it, you only have the amounts left to re-download it???

after you run out of your activations, is it permanent? or does it come back after months or so?

help me!

Securom is an older DRM service that uses "Activations" to combat piracy. When you installed the game, you activated it, and it used an activation. Software had a finite number of activations.

The number of activations and how you were able to, or not able to, get more varies by game and publisher, I believe.

The activation limit varies by game, set by the game's publisher. And how you get more activations also varies.

so,

does test drive unlimited 2 have drm that regenerate back?



but i dont get it.

so, uninstalling the game using delete local data does not make you activate the game anytime?
