I want to download an adventure game to my PC but want to install on a different PC. In your documentation it states the "You can uninstall and reinstall your game on the same PC as many times as you want*" How does the downloaded game detect the same PC? Is it the PC that the game was downloaded to or the PC that the game is 1st installed on?

*If you change multiple major elements in your PC (processor, hard drive, mother board...), your PC may be considered to be a new PC

This is what they say, although I myself think, that maybe the PC's mac address is also an issue.

Yes, I had read about the mac address being used to detect the PC. However, I am wondering if the mac address is detected when you download the game or only when you install the game? What I would like to do is install the game on my wife's computer but download and copy to CD from my computer. I don't want the game installed on my PC but would want to use my PC only for downloading. Am I making sense?

So in the scenario you're describing there shouldn't be a problem. Whilst I don't know whether MAC addresses are detected on download you can install on 3 different PCs (or 3 different builds of the same PC if you make major component changes) therefore, even if your PC is detected as PC 1, you've still got 2 available installations, allowing you to transfer to your wife's machine.

You are right. Thanks for the help!
