Basically,

It limits you to three installs

It only removes one when you change motherboard/hard drive or install a new OS (some say if you install the same as b4 it wont count but i dunno)

I cant believe this! ARGH

Sign petition please

there is a lot of confusion as to what will use an install...but the general idea is - 3 seperate pcs will count, each time you change mobo and each time you change OS (to a different one)

There could be other ways but i think it closely follows Vista/Xp's criteria for requiring activation. Apparently you can ring up EA and plead for more activation (broken motherboard etc.)

To me its gone too far...i mean iv already got a serial - why do this?

To top it off, there is already a pirated version out that requires no activation

You know what to do then Sam...... 

And these companies wonder why things like this happen

EA really are bottom feeders.  I have not bought a single EA game for ages and I will not untill they start making some decent games and stop ripping off the gamers.

I never even purchased Crysis, just downloaded the demo to see the eye candy.
