Building new pc and question about activation

I am getting all my goodies to build my nw pc Friday. Do i use the same activation code i got originally to re-activate the game when i get my new pc running? Thanks

 

Save this folder
C:\Users\users account name\AppData\Roaming\.rFactor

 

Can't seem to find that file in my documents under rfactor2

 

Yes, you just need to reactivate the software using your activation code.

I dont think saving the license folder will help in your case, because the new PC will have different hardware components, requiring a new activation.

Saving the license folder, btw, is a good way to delay/save the annoyance to ask a activation reset after 5 formats of the same system.

 

It's a hidden folder, so you have to setup windows explorer to show these kind of files/folders.

As an alternative, of course you can use your original activation code with the new pc. You have 5 activations available. Once they are all used due to reinstalling os/changing pc hardware, you can contact ISI and they will reset the counter to 5 activations available.


edit. Max was faster

 

Thanks for the help everyone!

 

For future reference the easiest way to get to this folder is by pressing WINDOWS KEY + R and typing %appdata% into run command

 

No the easiest way is to make a shortcut and pin it somewhere........... or you be typing every time you want it.

 

Gee thanks for that DD... totally pointless... Me I prefer to keep the desktop tidy and clutter free

 

I don't think DD's remark was "totally pointless" as there are some who would like to have a shortcut to the folder in their start menu. By doing this there is no clutter what so ever on the desktop.
