There would be two ways of limiting installs. Either over ther
internet, or by one particulr installation of the operating system. It
wouldn't really make sense to use the oiperating system, because the
whole point is to stop pirating. You could still install it on an
unlimited number of installations of an operating system. Meaning an
unlimited number of different computers.

The same goes for tying it to certain hardware. Sort of.

I know for a fact that the executable you get needs no internet
conection.

It isn't named in a friendly manner. Something like "657567.exe."
That's no real problem though. I think they've made the folder a little
harder to find, with the newer version of the downloader software. I'm
not sure. You used to just push a button in the downloader software. I
think you just need to look for a different folder in the root of the
"c" drive, or the drive you have the downloader software on. The root
is the top level.

Hi Mephisto,

I purchased off Gamersgate. There is no serial, no DRM no limited
downloads....nothing.

When purchased you simply download a single executable installer. You can
install and play with no Internet connection, it does not call home to
activate.

Some other GG titles have this installation restriction but not Take
Command. In fact, once downloaded, you can remove the GG downloaded and you
can still install and play it.

Cheers

Mark
