Myth of Bioshock

Either the server is in some manner broken, or 2k games simply "forgot" to add the feature to retain installs by uninstalling, but in any case you cannot activate it more then twice with the same key.

Calling them will not have your key reactivated, they will give you the registration code @ the manual activation screen and you will then be able to login. However they are currently swamped with problems and requests and you probably won't be able to have your manual activation for days-weeks.

Hope this helped.

Does anyone know this 5 installation limit apply on Steam purchased version too? From Steam game info, it said the downloaded version is already activiated, so can I, for example, to install steam on more than 5 computers and using same steam account to play? Thanx

I am not going to buy this game.This kind of protections are horrible I hate them. Affect even legal customers. If you format and re ininstall the OS (that happens a lot) then the software get useless after 5 activations is just useless crapware
