Not working... instead of resetting it can you just add a permanent license key for me to use so I don't have to request in the forum all the time? This is getting super rediculous annoying when I plan to reinstall windows.

I have reset it again, please try again.

Remember, you can deactivate MP on your own prior to any reinstall of Windows - just make your Primary a Secondary and it will prompt you to deactivate.  You might also have a 'change license' on your about tab (sorry, I dont have the Steam version installed to be certain) to 'Deactivate Local Machine':

yeah the problem is my computer run into a BSOD and would never boot up to windows to deactivated. I was wondering if it's possible to tie the license to this account so I can just use my email to login to activate without having to open forum.

 

license button

I don't have that deactivate button anyways.

Not with a Steam version I am afraid.  What is coming is a way for you to deactivate within the app when it tells you that you are at a limit on a new install.  SD sold versions have it; Steam, just Fences at the moment.  Again, it is coming for the others.

You don't need to post requests for this issue in the forums, you can create a ticket:

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

I have reset it.

When 3.5 is pushed to Steam (very soon), you will be able to do this yourself.
