I can't deauthorize NFS: Hot Pursuit because I had to reinstall my computer.

Over the years I've reinstalled my computer for various reasons and it's now saying I've reached my max authorizations.  I need to somehow deauthorize all computers.

    Hi holyloktar

    The following tool should resolve this issue:

    • Overview

      Certain EA PC games with SecuROM and/or Solidshield digital rights management technology allow users to concurrently "authorize" up to a certain number of computers at the same time to play the games. Users can then play the game on any authorized computer they choose. If your EA PC game was released after May 2008 and has a machine authorization limit, you can manage your computer authorizations using EA De-Authorization Tools!

      Once de-authorized, a machine "slot" will be freed up and can be re-used on another computer. De-authorization does not uninstall the game, however, so if you decide you want to re-authorize your computer later, all you have to do is re-launch the game while you are connected to the Internet.

    EA De-Authorization Management Tool

    If you are not sure which games with machine authorization limits are installed on your machine, the EA De-Authorization Management Tool can help you! This tool does three things:

    • Scans your computer to determine which EA PC games released after May 2008 with machine authorization limits your computer has been authorized to play.
    • Tells you how many computer authorizations you have available for each of those games.
    • Gives you the option of de-authorizing your computer for any of the games detected by the tool.

    After you run the EA De-Authorization Management Tool and see a list of the games with authorization limits currently installed on your machine, you have the option of clicking on the red "De-authorize this computer" button and your browser will automatically download the Game-Specific De-Authorization Tool required to de-authorize your computer.

    Download the EA De-Authorization Management Tool.

     


    We hope this helps.
