GBA on pitchers cards

[quote:c1f0eb96de="Palanion"][quote:c1f0eb96de="trimhunter"]I am trying to get SOM to guarantee that if I reformat my hard drive or buy a new computer, or hell even if I buy another computer after that computer that I can transfer those seasons to the new computer or a new hard drive. I am not going to eventually invest thousands of dollars into something and then it all be worthless just because I format my hard drive, or buy 2 new computers.

Anyone have any experience with this situation?[/quote:c1f0eb96de]

Trim,

Check out that forum I linked earlier. But, otherwise, just keep your autho cards that came with the CD. Or, as many do, create a spreadsheet to keep tracks of the codes and the seasons to which they belong.
If you ever need to reauthorize on a new computer, I believe the action is to notify SOM and then install on the new computer with the existing auto code.
I have not had to do that yet, but there will come a day.[/quote:c1f0eb96de]

I checked out that forum and I tried to register(apparently I was already a member and I did not know it) but it said my email has been banned. I tried to contact the forum administrator but I have yet to get a response.

I skipped several versions of the cdrom game so when I decided recently to get back in to the computer game I purchased a new full version. As a consequence I had about a dozen seasons become useless and will have to repurchase them. Strato basically said tough luck when I contacted them.

Buying from stratomatic is as much a roll of the dice as the game is. It is a gamble and the company has little honor.

That is the problem, I have AOL email. I guess I will not be visiting that forum, that is my only email address.

I don't understand, why are the old versions not usable with the new version?

[Valen]

Strat changed the authentication method and they simply do not authenticate the old seasons off the disks. Why did they do this? To make us pay for the seasons again. I had planned on buying every season over the next 6 months or so. But after they cheated me out of those seasons I have decided to make no further purchases.
