University Technical Issue
witch:
Yes, that's one of my pet peeves about sims2. Any other software I have, I like to make a backup copy of the CD(s). Sims2 won't even run if I have the backing up software - i.e. some CD burning s/w - on my hard drive. I've had to frig around with partitions and separate operating systems and stuff, just to be able to continue my normal computer operations.
I was always told when studying, that when you purchase software, you are in fact purchasing a license, not so much the physical CD. In that case, if this is true, I should be able to make as many backup copies as my paranoia dictates, as long as I don't share or sell the CDs I burn.

Well, most companies allow you one back-up, but it also annoys me how you can only use some software on one computer, and need to buy additional licences to use it on another. A lot of people have a desktop and a laptop these days, yet legally would need two licences! At least, i suppose, Sims2 doesn't stop you having it in more than one place!

I am not sure if this works or not, I haven't had an opportunity to try it. This message came through one of the other groups I belong to. If it works, it would certainly save the wear and tear on your cd's.
I discovered that Maxis made it easy to run your sims2 or university
without the cd. If you look in the respective folders there is a
support folder that has a file named The Sims 2_Code or The Sims 2
University_Code depending on which parent folder you're looking in.
If you click on that you can type in your registration code on the
back of the jewel case and it will save it to the computer. After
that you don't have to have the disks in the drive.

I tried it and it doesn't work at least not for me.

Maybe you need to do it for both Sims2 and UNI.
