Does this need a CD key? Will I be ok if I buy a used copy?

This does use a cd key, so if you're buying a used copy, be sure it comes with it, however it would be safest to buy new as the program might check the cd key online and if it shows another computer is using the same key it won't work

It does have a CD key, but the code can be reused. I have used mine to download it onto many different computers.

It does need a cd key for install so don't buy one used unless they didn't use key.

Typically not without finding a crack somewhere online. Most games require CD authentication unless you are using a platform like Steam or Origin.

Yes. Buy the product which comes with a key. Download the program from the developers website and then enter the key when prompted. :)

The cd will contain information and instructions you won't otherwise get if you do not use it. You could play without it but you will miss out on things if you do.

if you bought the download copy you don't have to buy two copies at least I don't think you do. What I recommend you doing is put it on either rone first say pc get it going then on your laptop download amazon games and it will be on there and install with the same key like you did the first time.

no license key. Came in sealed box. Just installed in DVD slot and followed instructions on screen as the program loaded.

New copies come with activation papers on the inside cover of the game, I'm not sure if a used copy would have a code that has not been used

I bought it used...if bought used I think you need to pay to get the new code..so yes you do need a code.

As far as I remember you have to enter a code and then download the program.Edit: I see from my review I had problems with the file and ended up having to buy a DVD. I wasn't the only one though I don't know how prevalent the problem is now. http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A2FKFM6C3WOGDS/ref=pdp_new_read_full_review_link?ie=UTF8&page;=1&sort;_by=MostRecentReview#R21CP6J8TJ1B5R

yes you can load and play the dvd. As long as the person selling it provides you with the cd key.

No. The PC might have come with a short-term trial version (I don't recall) but you would have to buy or import a copy for permanent use. (I loaded my old copy onto the new PC, and it works fine.)

I ordered it on a DVD. I think it can be purchased on cd's, also. A joystick or yoke is preferable, but not necessary.

You do it exactly the same as you download it for your first PC. We actually downloaded the version that we bought (the latest at that time) from their website and then just entered the KEY#

It has been my experience that product keys only work for the disc it was coded to. In short, NO. I have tried using keys from similar discs of various Microsoft programs, i.e. Outlook, etc. and they would not work. It would seem that this would be unnecessary since you have a copy of the disc with its own key. That's the best answer I can suggest. I hope all goes well. My copy seems to work flawlessly, as purchased. No problems.

Not quite sure what's preventing you from simply installing it as you did before. Unless you no longer have the requisite serial info or password to do so. I'm sorry I'm not very helpful. I can tell you that personally when I have had the need to install on a new computer and can't find either the disc or the info (which is almost always the case) I simply orflder a new one. The version I have isn't very costly and there are a number of places to find em. Good luck. Maybe you should ask a thirteen year old. I'm 50 and that's what I end up doing.
