Mass Effect Activation Limit

[Thanatos34]

Hello all, I recently hit my activation limit on ME. Is there a way around this, or do I have to buy another copy?

On a side note, what were the devs thinking, putting something like this in a game, it only hurts legitimate buyers.

Didn't they offer a free code to take the limit off for good? Sorry, no link.

It's all an evil plan by Microsoft. they want you to buy another copy.
I don't know of any way around it, unfortunately...

For best results, for any problem you have with a game, you should probably try the forums of the actual game company that made it. Nobody here is trained to be Mass Effect tech support.

If that's true, I'd love a link to it. Never heard of it, though.

I changed my monitor, and apparently that made it use my last code. Effing EA.

Believe me, I've tried. They are worthless.

Pirate it?
You already paid for the game.

Wouldn't I then run into the same problem? I'm sure all the keys out there have been used 3 or more times.

What does Microsoft have to do with a game published by EA?

OT:You can email customer support and request more activations I believe but they also can deny it. Good luck.

YARR me harty! There be only one way around ye problem. Savvy ?

I've checked all the normal sites to get keys, and all of them failed. I need a key that hasn't been used in order to get ME to run.

Whoops, turns out that was BioShock instead of ME. Sorry to get your hopes up.

There's a way around that.
You install a crack, stops the computer from requiring a disc & bypasses activation limits.
The only problems are that you can't do anything online, for instance multiplayer (Not sure if Mass Effect has this anyway) Though you can still patch & mod it.

Alternatively you could download a portable copy, however you can't patch or mod them or go online.

All right, I'll see what I can do.

Yargh!

It's an old game, there HAS to be a keygen out for it.

Here lemme look...

That took me about a second.


That has a Keygen for it AND crack so you don't need a disc or anything.

Have a good day Sir and always remember...

We have Cake!

Look at my above post...

*grumble*

Don't use the crack, just the Keygen OK? The Crack has the Galaxy map problem...

All righty, I've gone there. Thanks for the link.

And I'm 21, so no biggie. Thanks for the warning, though.

OK Good, I removed the link. Not a huge Fan of the Ban hammer

Just so you know, don't use the crack on the game JUST the keygen, as the crack does not bypass a DRM issue, but since you have a legit copy, all you need is the key bode

This is what you're looking for OP
http://activate.ea.com/deauthorize/

It's a tool to deactivate any installs you've done.

IMO since they give you a tool to basically revoke your installs I don't see why they keep fucking putting securom + install limits on all their games.

I read on a forum that someone had the same problem with Spore, apparently they phoned EA up and they gave him a new key or something along those lines, perhaps there is a contact address in booklet? Just a thought.
