Where's the serial number? - Postito - 04-06-2009 01:27 AM
For digitally downloaded games. I have no idea where to find it.
On another note, I like everything about the game except for the fact that you need a great computer to have it not be annoying.

Have you checked your spam folder? I find my spam folder attracts all the important emails, and my inbox still gets spam.
GO YAHOO.

Well they sent me an email giving me a link to buy the game at the EA store. That's not super useful as of right now.
Do I have to do anything special to get an email with the serial number?

Are you using EA download manager?
Edit: Read through the following information-
Answer
There are a few reasons that you may have recieved this error message:
* The software you are trying to run is installed on four different computers.
* The license file is possibly corrupted and needs to be re-installed.
* Your system clock may be set incorrectly.
* You do not have all of your old EA accounts linked to your new EA account.
If you see the following error, your game has likely been downloaded and installed on three other computers already.
"The game cannot start. In order to launch this game, please login to the EA Download Manager to verify your ownership, then try again."
According to the End User License Agreement, which can be found by opening the EA Download Manager, highlighting your game and selecting Game Manual: "You may only have the game installed on three computers at any given time."

If you are sure you have not installed the game on a fourth computer, please clear your license files located at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\PACE Anti-Piracy\License Files and delete all the files in that folder. Once you log in a new one will be created.
