Why would you buy a game on DVD if you don't have a DVD Drive?

I've heard this game is also available on 3 CD's. Why don't you take it back to the store and try and get that version?

Yeah, I figured that. I was trying to give him enough rope to hang himself.

Yes. I just got that after having it installed for one day. Have to wait and see what happens in 3 more days.

I find it quite fishy that this nag screen comes up a day later.

Hopefully someone can use this file to make a real No-DVD patch that doesn't have a time limit.

3 day expiry

hi everybody this is my first post on the forums but hopefully a useful one

i too get the 3day expiry, rather than waiting 3 days i changed my time settings on windows to june and now get the following message "Sorry, but license data has expired, Please contact the software provider to update the software or extend the license" and needless to say the game don't work

however popped my clock back to present day and get 3 day message again, maybe every time i want to play the game i'll just put my clock back to the day i installed it.

does anyone else think this likely to work?

@ bjornmmcc
I´ve read your posts in the megagamesforum

Sorry, for my english, but I´ll try my best.
I changed my time settings on windows to the 4th of jun.
Now I get the same message (License...).
Then I put the clock back to today.I get the same message.
Than I unistall the game after that I dowload the (secur...patch)
replace this file to the gamedir and now I don´t get the message (3days) ,
I get the same message before I uninstall.

Than I install the first time the game on my notebook and use the same patch.
There I get the (3 day message)

I also hope there will come a real nocd patch
