Installing GalCiv2 to another PC?

use SDC to create an archive
copy archive to disk
install SDC on gaming PC
use SDC to restore the archive

you may have to contact support for email activation (not sure about that)

Thanks for the quick reply Bichur... but I've done all that, as per this FAQ :

WWW Link

...however, I get as far as the archive restore completing, and where the FAQ says I should be asked for an install path, it doesn't. It does in fact install it to a logical path though;

C:\program files\stardock\totalgaming\galciv2\

...but when I run the game, it still wants to activate online, after I've input my email + serial.

found this:

Hi, is it possible to install the game on my main pc and my laptop? thanks for the anwser kryo August 8, 2006 08:41:40 Reply #2 So long as you own both computers and you are the one playing the game on them, yes, that is fine. Just be sure that if you archive via SDC and then restore it on the other machine, you delete the file sig.bin in your GalCiv2 folder and reactivate the game there (sig.bin tells the game if it is activated, and is tied to the machine's configuration where it was generated).

Sorry, looks like I need to reinstall my brain...

What you suggested seems to indeed be the way, but what I missed, and what I now need to do, is send an activation request email to Stardock. Hopefully I should receive a reply soon...

Thanks again!

Wow! That's what I call service... I just received a freshly activated sig.bin, about 40 seconds after requesting it. I've installed it, and it's now working perfectly!

Thanks Bichur, and thanks for the turbo-activate, Stardock.

I'm off to get lost in space...
