finalcutprox0 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 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. Final Cut Pro X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowdon Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 <p>Ok, I haven't seen this question asked yet.</p><p> </p><p> I'm going to move my game over from this old XP machine to the new Win10 one I have. So I do the unlicense thing. But where do I get the .exe file for the new pc?</p><p> </p><p> Do I have to copy the directory over or can I download the .exe from the website?</p><p> </p><p> Edit:</p><p> </p><p> Ok, I had to use the shortcut in the start menu, which had a path: "C:\Program Files\GDS\WMMA3\UNWISE.EXE" /W1 "C:\Program Files\GDS\WMMA3\INSTALL.LOG" </p><p> </p><p> I've tried adding the -unlicense tag on the end. It doesn't seem to show any license number. The game just starts normally. I tried cutting the last bit off and typing "C:\Program Files\GDS\WMMA3\UNWISE.EXE" -unlicense</p><p> </p><p> Which still doesnt work. The game doesnt even load if I do that.</p><p> </p><p> I don't have any desktop shortcut, and surely it would be the same path anyways as the start menu shortcut? So what is the correct command line to type to unlicense the game??</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSelfDestruct Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 So I just did the free update the other day and didnt see this. I'm not entirely sure if I set up the games before the update though.. I'm still able to play the game, no issues. Is there something you guys need to do?

Blackman Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Just mentioning here that updating W10 to the anniversary edition (or whatever the name is; you need it to play Forza) does the same thing (in case it hasn't been mentioned). I thought it was just with upgrades. It's not... <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/redface.png.900245280682ef18c5d82399a93c5827.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksonwyatt Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Windows 10 Upgrade I upgraded Window without declined the game license and its works without any problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganRodzen Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 This is the same for the Windows 11 Upgrade. Although, I forgot to unlicense my copy of TEW2020 and it asked for me to license it upon first launch (after Windows upgrade). I was able to unlicense it from within Windows 11 and relicense directly after. Thought I would throw this out there for anyone who might be a Windows Insider like myself.

javier_83 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 i just updated to windows 11 and my TEW2020 game is working fine <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMenemy Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I no longer have access to my old laptop for which my game was licensed on. Can someone let me know what I need to do to get my old machine unlicensed so I can license my new machine please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 You would need to contact Scott. Details are in the license FAQ pinned to the top of every technical support forum (at least for my games). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steev42 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 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.... Quoting to give a thumbs up. elicense is just awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reign Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I brought a new pc after mine died. How do I go about getting my game unlicensed so I can re install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 There are unlicensing instructions pinned to the top of every technical support forum for my games, including what to do if your old computer is unaccessible. The TEW2020 one, for example, is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reign Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I emailed Scott as says in the instructions but came up undelivered on hotmail then used Gmail and no reply. Do not sure if this was delivered either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
