    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.
