Scott Vibert Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Just a reminder that when you install a new version of windows, you need to remember to unlicense your game first, if you don't your license will be locked on the old windows installation and you will need to contact me to get it unlicensed. Follow these steps on your old computer to unlicense ( which will give you your order ID) and you should be all set to move to the new computer. Right-click on the shortcut you use to launch the game. Goto properties Goto the target box and at the end of the current entry add: -unlicense Press apply and OK to exit Then double click to launch the game. You will see the order ID and below there will be a box you can use to unlicense. If this doesn't work please email me with the entry that is in the target field of your short-cut and we should be able to get you fixed up. Hope this helps.

We are APW Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Or GDS could continue modernising and put more games on Steam, so we don't ever have to worry about the scourge that is Elicense ever again! Just saying.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbasalmon Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Did exactly what you said and it worked like a charm. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It have not had to unlicense a game in some time on here so I do not remember the answer to my question. Will I still have my files (Saves, Pictures, etc.) when I unlicense them or should I save them in Dropbox or something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHK1978 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 None of your files should be affected. Thank you for the quick reply. I just have so many saved games between TEW10, 13, WMMA4, and the Basketball game that I would hate to lose them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stennick Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Yeah none of your files will be affected. I do it all the time and have never had a single issue and I've done it maybe 15 to 20 times. Edit: Did you say TEW10? People still PLAY TEW10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Did you say TEW10? People still PLAY TEW10? Yeah I like the default rosters of a couple of TEW10 promotions better than the current version. Also, I have some real world mods that came out for 10 that I still play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Casey Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I have a horrible feeling at least one of my games is still licensed to my old laptop that I've put 10 on as a test... Sorry if so, Scott; I think it's only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william1993 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 When I try to do this for BBCF, I keep getting an error message that turns the ".exe" to ".exe-unlicense' and that file format is unusable and I cannot unlicense my game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 When I try to do this for BBCF, I keep getting an error message that turns the ".exe" to ".exe-unlicense' and that file format is unusable and I cannot unlicense my game There should be a space between the '.exe' and the '-unlicense'; otherwise it would be considered a thirteen character extension.

The Doctor Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Is it weird that I was unaffected - I upgraded and then came on here and saw the post but the game still works as normal. I'm not complaining, I'm just wondering if I'll notice any issues down the line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some way for me to have my licenses inactivated so i can use them again? i updated to windows 10 today and now the game wont start. Insted a window opens from Viatech technologies. the say that i should enter my ID. When i do that i get this message: "unable to get or install license. retrival of license failed with error code = 11. there are no licenses available for this order ID. you have installed all of the licenses for this product to which you are entitled. if you need additional licenses, you will need to contact the publisher or vendor store you purchased this product from, or you will need to purchase another copy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started working by itself all off a sudden. Well well. Maybe my email to Viatech helped. Who knows? Great to be able to play again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitsukaikira Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I upgraded without unlicensing and the game worked, and has continued to work without issue post-upgrade. For what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You release the license and then go back to license it. To me it worked in W8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexB Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 FWIW didn't realise this needed to be done, WMMA4 still works fine after my upgrade without unlicensing first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsfanmas Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I also never thought about unlicensing FBCB before I upgraded to Windows 10. Everything seems to be working fine though. My only question is when I try to download FBPB and import draft files from FBCB to FBPB, am I going to have problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getitcasey Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I just updated to windows 10 on my computer and can't even find TEW or the GDS folder anywhere on my computer. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only question is when I try to download FBPB and import draft files from FBCB to FBPB, am I going to have problems? Same here, everything seems to be fine without unlicensing, worked even without a restart as others suggested. I just updated to windows 10 on my computer and can't even find TEW or the GDS folder anywhere on my computer. :/ Files explorer in your start menu can help find any folders you need to find, and All Apps if you have it in your programs folder might show it. I just installed windows 10 as well, so no expert, but had the same type of problems and found them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatChizzle Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 lol I updated to Windows 10 the day it came out, and today is the first I've noticed this message. Never had to unlicensed TEW2013, and it's never had a problem at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
