Default TellTale Downloads

Hello, I was thinking about buying the game now that it is, out Just wondering about the download version. How long do I have to download it, Can I download it and then in 9 months buy a new computer and then re-download it? How many computers can I put it on at once, Can I put it on my comp, my wifes comp and my child's comp?

Shipping to Canada is so pricey, this is why i'm asking.

The game's about 100 megs and you only need to download once - the trial version and the full version are the same file, the trial just limits play to a particular area of the game. If you wanted to install it on another machine in your house you could copy the setup.exe file over and run it on that machine.

If you keep your order number and purchase password around, you can re-authorize the game on a new computer no problem. Just re-download the game, and then on the demo screen that pops up, click on "I've already purchased this" and enter in your order number and password from when you first bought the game. I *think* you can only do that a few times on a few computers before it prevents you from doing so again (much like the iTunes music store only allows you to have a certain number of authorized computers at a time), but if you hit that limit (probably difficult to hit unless you're sharing your serial number with all your friends) you can reset your authorized machines by writing Telltale tech support. Installing it on the computers at your home should work out fine though.

K, the one thing I'm worried about is buying the game, then say in 2 years wanting to re-install it on a new computer, only trouble is TellTale is gone, I won't have anywhere to download the game.

Jake are there at least 3 to the limit on the computers you can install to?
