Cannot play game, validation SID ???????

December 24, 2006 2:14:57 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I had to reinstall my windows a month ago and when I tried to reinstall GC2, it gave me a mesage as such...

"the product appears to be validated but the serial number or the machine SID dont match"

Ok, so instead of emailing here I thought to just buy another copy and support the company cause I love the game...well, after installing that new copy.. I still get the same message... ok, now what? someone please help. Thank you.

You should just have to go to your install directory C:/ProgramFiles/Stardock/Totalgaming/GC2 and delete your sig.bin file. Restart and reactivate the game and you should be good to go.
