> Hot Pursuit 2010

I've read that EA/Origin disabled all of the extra content in Hot Pursuit Limited Edition as they did with Shift 2 Unleashed Limited Edition sometime around March 2018.

>Steam versus Origin

Steam generally relies on the Steam app for authentication, and doesn't rely on third party authentication servers. Some Origin versions of games used securom authentication server, which was shut down, rendering the Origin versions of those affected games unplayable, while the Steam versions of those games were not affected. So it's a case by case situation.

If you have reached the limit, please read this information below.
This will help you in deauthorizing the game.

This technology allows users to "authorize" up to five computers to play the game at the same time.

• Deauthorizing Need for Speed Hot Pursuit on PC

Copies of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit come with SolidShield digital rights management technology. This technology allows users to "authorize" up to five computers to play the game at the same time.

If you are coming close to your five machine limit, or wish to deauthorize a computer for any reason, you can deauthorize your system from playing Need for Speed Hot Pursuitright from your computer's Start menu.

To use the in-game deauthorization tool for Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, follow the steps below.

Windows Vista/Windows 7/ windows virtual desktop

• Click on the Windows button on the Windows Taskbar.
• Select All Programs.
• Click on Games.
• Click on Games Explorer.
• Right-click on the Need for Speed Hot Pursuit
• Click on Need for Speed Hot Pursuit - Deauthorize this machine.
  
  

Windows XP

• Click on the Start Menu on the Windows Taskbar.
• Select All Programs
• Find the Electronic Arts folder.
• Roll over the Need for Speed Hot Pursuit
• Click on the Need for Speed Hot Pursuit - Deauthorize this machine option.
  
  

You will receive a message when the computer is successfully deauthorized.  Deauthorization does not uninstall the game, however, so if you decide you want to reauthorize your computer later, all you have to do is relaunch the game while connected to the Internet.

 Regards,

Adrian
