    As above just had to do a new install and it's saying i have reached the limit. Says to click on the renewals but it just goes to a dead link? I have tried to send an email using the link that was provided but unsure if it has gone through, no confirmation of receipt of the email.

    For next time you need to do a re install, keep your userdata folder so you don't have to reactivate. You might have to email support.

    Actually that's not true.

    If you don't want to have to reactivate, you need to save only the .rfactor folder from:

    C:\Users\(your windows account name)\AppData\Roaming\.rfactor <-- that saves your activation information

    Place that folder back into the correct location and you won't ever have to reactivate after a reinstall (unless you change hardware).

    Saving your userdata folder will do nothing except save your profile and settings. You will still have to reactivate.

    Quick note: The game won't "recognize" your activation until the game is updated to same version as the contents of that folder.

    FONismo, yep ;)
