Registration / License / Reinstalling issues?

from Elemental Forums

I have a desktop PC that I use 99.9% of the time.  My wife has her own laptop.  Over the Thanksgiving break, I'll be carrying her laptop with us.  Will there by any issue if Elemental is installed on 2 computers?  I'd never be playing more than 1 copy of the game at the same time.  Or if I can install/uninstall between the 2 computers without running into registration problems, that would work too I guess.  ...anyway, it gets frightfully dull at the inlaws and I don't want to count the popcorn bumps on the ceiling this year.

Depends on what the specifications are on your laptop. If they're near minimum reqs, I wouldn't install the game on it.

As far as registration goes, you can just log into Impulse on the laptop and download and install the game with no issues. You won't be able to play multiplayer between the two computers since currently it needs a unique account for each client, however it sounds like that's not what you're trying to do anyway.

If the laptop can handle it, there is no reason you cannot install the game on it.  I have it on two computers and have no issues running on one or the other.

If I wish to install Elemental on my new computer, do I have to download the game again !?! I have a slow connection and 1.89GB takes a loooong time to download. If not, what's the best way to copy it over, and then install it ?

 

Thanks  |-)

If your new computer is the same OS as the old one, you can right click on your installed game on the old PC and select archive. Then copy over that archive to the new PC, install Impulse on the new PC, and use the restore archive option from the main dropdown in the top left to install directly from the archive you made. This only works if the two PCs have the same OS, otherwise you'll have to re-download.
