Shift 2: Unleashed — "Activation limit for serial number exceeded".
Greetings, community!
So, I'm having this well-known problem with Shift 2: Unleashed, related to TAGES Solidshield DRM protection. I do have a copy of the game on both Steam and EA App and it's functional at all (they're the same). Since the EA Help chat support can't either answer accordingly nor find a solution when asked for, here I am.
What am I supposed to do? Shouldn't the EA Support reset my machine activation limit properly? If so, how do they do that, since there's any kind of "De-Authorization Tool" available for this title?
I understand your concern regarding the activation linked to the serial number. This is the 20-character code that activates on your account when the game is registered. It's possible that there is a different code for the game on Steam and the EA app. I recommend using a registry cleaner of your choice to clear the system registry and reinstall the game through the EA app. If you encounter the same error afterwards, please reach out to the support team again and explain that you need assistance with Solidshield DRM activation.
