Hi there,
I posted the /etc/hosts workaround in an earlier thread as well. But it the whole thread was deleted - for good reasons, is against the rules:

So there are three things left to say:
1.) Fairlight's fix does the same thing as the hack from me.
2.) This is a workaround for a forgotten serial.
3.) Buy the game - it gives the needed serial. No need for hacks. No hassles.
