@Kharthos When you installed on the new system, did it populate the same license folder?

      @Kharthos When you deleted the file in the license folder, did you delete all of them or just that one single file? Were there more files in that folder?

      On the new system, do you have more than one drive installed? With this game, it should install that license folder if it is installed through the EA app, so that could be an issue with the game linked to the account.

        I deleted the 71592.dlf File. Yes there were about 8 files in the folder. What do you mean with multiple drives? I got only drive C on the other System.
