Spore DRM De-Authorization Tool Released

by Chris Faylor, Dec 18, 2008 7:36am PST

Related Topics – Spore, PC, DRM

Now available from FileShack is the Spore PC De-Authorization Tool.

As the controversial DRM behind EA Maxis' popular simulation allows the game to be installed on up to five different computer, this tool removes a machine from the list, freeing up an authorization slot for another install on a different computer.

Launching a de-authorized install of Spore will prompt an attempt at re-authorization.

Windows Vista users are advised to turn off the UAC (User Account Control) in the User Account portion of the Control Panel before running the tool.

I'm confused. What exactly does this do? I thought simply uninstalling the game refunded one of your authorizations or tokens or w/e we are calling them.

What kind of retarded advice is that? I be they are happy to get a lot of calls on how people have lost their files and settings after doing that. Fucking stupid thing to advice people to do.
