Copyright Protection

[gamerguy1]

Hello.

Do some games have copyright protection that prevents you from installing a game on 2 pcs- same internet connection for play. ie. Can copyright protection prevent a game from running even if you are using it on 1 pc at a time?

depends on the game, but in general you cant play a game installed on 2 computers online at the same time.

Yeah figured 1 game gives u ability for 1 person to play over the internet at a time. Some copy protection is worse than others, and most of my games will play on both pcs.

The most basic copy protection would be to check for the original CD in the CD drive.

If you don't need an online verification/profile you generally can play on 2 puters.
