Is it possible to install on more than 1 computer? I used my retail key on the computer that I used the open beta key on. Well I cannot use my key again on my other computer. How do I get around this? Do I need to download the client again for another $50, or is there a way to download the game without having to activate my key again? I will be using my same account so I am sure there has to be a way.
You can download as much as you want, doesn't ask for a key when you install since it works off of account name. Click my account on the star trek main page in the top right and hit the download client button on the left.
If you want to make it easier just copy the Cryptic Studios folder to the new system ie: C:\Games and then make a shortcut on the desktop to the Star Trek Online.exe and it will run with no downloading involved. Most MMO's have made their games work without having to reinstall every time.
I keep all my MMO's on a drive other than C. I can't remember the last time I reinstalled an MMO. I just reinstall my OS or move the drive toa new computer and they are there. I just create a shortcut and then do a little audio/video settings in the game and I am running.
Thanks for the input. I did not even think of just coping the Cryptic file from my one computer to this one. I can just put it on a jump drive and install it on this computer. Thanks again.
