The Disk does not need to be in the machine. Is Doom such a software? I doubt it, but I never checked if Steam offers something similar. Course not as secure as pure internet activation, but I sell software to computers which are also not allowed to have an internet connection. I still think it won't work, but I have sold many hundreds if not thousands of professional software packages I developed which needed to be activated either via internet, or by calling our support, tell them a specific string (which also included a hash of some hardware snos), and we could tell simply tell them how to create a textfile to put in their application launch directory which would also be picked up by the registration process. smaller companies (I wouldn't count steam or id into the mix) no longer regard machines not connected to the internet when it comes to registration and pure consumer products. Regarding your first question: right! But esp. In case noone else already knows the answer of course ) I probably will have to email them and ask. I guess this turns into a support question. If it would work that way, everyone could move around unlimited copies of the game to other machines and just firewall it in order to prevent a re-verification of the used key, right?ĮDIT: Does the Disk need to be in the machine while playing? if that is the case then it might be possible that it works!! Do I need to be online in order to use Snapmap etc.? => YES, if you want to share maps and if etc. Do I need to be online to start/play the Game? => NO Do I need to be online to install the Game? => YES
Then again, you could also PLAY it on the other machine! I wouldn't count on it though (as in: I would bet quite some money against it).Įdit: you could install it on another machine in the intranet with internet access to register your key, and then stream it to the development machine. It COULD be that the steam version on the disc carries a database with known key-solving algorithms with it to unlock your game if no internet access is available. I am not sure how you would handle it regarding the registration of your key, I never tried that/if it can be moved. What you CAN do, is download the game on a different machine with internet access, move the steam folder to the "offline" machine. Thus, the rest of the game has to be downloaded.
The game is larger than the disc you buy.
It doesn't have a firewall, virusscanner etc.Ĭan I install and run the game on this machine? ) It's a development machine that is not connected to the internet. The machine I am planning to play the game on is offline and it won't go online - ever.
