Spore DRM De-Authorization Tool Released

9
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.

Chris Faylor was previously a games journalist creating content at Shacknews.

    Hah, does anyone that knows what DRM is (or cares about it) still plays this game, especially after the latest releases?

      I played for a day and a half, then I went back to watch the early demo video's and cry over the hideous abortion of a game we ended up with.
