Hi cda666
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.
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 Pursuit right 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
- 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 icon.
- 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 directory.
- 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.

That would help if the old hard drives were bootable.
I have 2 legit copies of the game, disk and book, and photo to prove it. And never had a problem until now. Went through a lot of reinstalls of windows as well so I suppose they chewed up spots too.
Honestly my son wants his game. It's supposed to be easy. Got the key and CD, install.
If we buy game, we should own it.
4 hours of screwing around trying to get it working, and looking for a way to access the support, unable to even upload my proof.
I found myself starting to look for cracks to just try to get my legit game working. That's seriously bad support when Hacker sites are more appealing.
How can I upload my photo and get actual support?

I feel you, and their customer service is too dumb to give you an answer... I have that problem with Hot Pursuit, Shift 1 and Shift 2 even though I bought the games legally...
