Q: I installed BioShock on a machine which I no longer use or someone else installed a copy of my
game on their machine. Can I revoke the activation from that machine without having access to it?
A: No, you can only revoke an activation by running the revoke tool on the machine that it was activated on.
Q: What will cause me to have to re-activate BioShock?
A: There are a number of circumstances under which BioShock will require reactivation:
game on their machine. Can I revoke the activation from that machine without having access to it?
A: No, you can only revoke an activation by running the revoke tool on the machine that it was activated on.
Q: What will cause me to have to re-activate BioShock?
A: There are a number of circumstances under which BioShock will require reactivation:
• Changing any main hardware components in your system
• Installing BioShock on new computer
• Activating BioShock in a second user account, even if it has already been activated on and existing
computer/hardware setup.
• Deleting the license information off your hard drive (say by formatting it or by re-installing Windows)
• If the license information becomes corrupt for any reason and cannot be read.
Q: How do I know when one of my activations is being used up?
A: Activations are only used up when you see the activation request and are asked to input your activation
key. If you re-install and do not see this requester then, your activation count has not changed.
Q: How does the BioShock Revoke Tool help me with all of this?
A: The BioShockRevokeTool allows you to re-use activations by resetting and freeing them up on the
activation server. If you want to free up and activation at any time, say because you are uninstalling the
game and want to move it to a new computer, you can do so with the BioShock revoke tool.
Q: Can I use the revoke tool, even after I have uninstalled BioShock from my system?
A: Yes. The BioShockRevokeTool, does not require you to have BioShock installed on your system, just
that you have an active BioShock license to revoke.
