Spore Now Graciously Allows You To Reinstall Your Own Game [Ea]
Kotaku — ... Well, after promises , now EA have delivered, freeing up the game's installs. PC owners (sorry Macs!) can now download a tool from EA that will let you de-authorise your PC. This effectively allows you to override the game's installed-on-five-PCs limit, as you can manage the availability of all five "machine slots". So if you hit the limit of five, just use the tool to de-authorise one machine and it'll free up a slot. Easy. Spore De-Authorization Tool [EA, via Offworld ]
