Using S2 cars/tracks without a license
i dont know if anyone noticed i barely read the things inside threads but several days ago i found out an interesting bug about lfs...i wrote my lfs password wrong in another computer and it told me that username and password does not match i contiued and saw that even i wrote a wrong password lfs let me use every car that s2 licenced drivers had...so i think if someone writes a s2 licensed users username and write a makeup password it lets that user to use s2(only in single player but it doesnt matter)....or it can be a thing that happens 1 in a thousand i dont know...but if not this can be atleast a reason for every 2 person out of 10 who uses demo not to get s2
greetings
nebil...
was said pc you own or another persons??

you may guess whatn im getting at here
I have found a similar thing recently.. So here it is: I have a S2 license and my bro has his own account in demo. He doesn't want to touch my account and since we had little fights about the controls i copied LFS in his own folder. When i copied it my license was available and we entered his username and pass but we forgot to press unlock. What we noticed was that he can play demo online AND use S2 cars and tracks in single player. I haven't tried to fix that since that was the perfect option for my bro and he was rly rly happy and it's still that way.

ps: Are you sure that your account hasn't been unlocked earlier(yes I know it's on other comp)?

Doesn't work (just tried it on my laptop).
yep i tried it from another pc that was my friends' and also he was using demo version so i thing this thing whatever it is can be on demo users' computers...(and i tried it now it still does same thing and when i try to go multiplayer it just doesnt let wrong password comes up
If you change the multiplayer password, the master server will refuse your connection. However, if LFS was previously unlocked, it will remain unlocked, so you still have S2 content. It's just single player only at that point, though.
Although it was unlocked at one stage, which is generally deemed upon as OK, so long as you're not sharing licences, apart from LAN usage.
Can anyone give me some account what has a S2 licencse?
As for the topic at hand (old as it may be :shrug, I have LFS unlocked on my brother's PC, and then changed the username and password (without pressing lock). He can play S2 in single player or in LAN, but it won't let him go online. I think it's a neat feature (even though it's probably accidental...), and I see no harm in it

Full S2 content without paying? That's exactly the same as cracking LFS. I doubt that it was intentional on Scawen's part.

But it isnt?
But I have paid. In essence, it's as if I'm letting someone else play LFS on my PC. And, the LFS EULA says you can unlock LFS on other PCs to play in LAN

Someone without a license waltze's in, clicks on a thread, reads the name of an S2 user, enters it with a random password into his copy of LFS and suddenly he has all the tracks and cars without paying. You're fine with that?

If you want to unlock it on another computer on your network go for it, that's fine - but this is a bug with LFS and I couldn't imagine it being intentional.

Thats not how it works, MAGGOT.

You need to unlock LFS FIRST, then change the username and password in the "Unlock" screen, but do NOT press lock - that way LFS is still unlocked, but if you try to get online it checks the password and kicks you out.

Seems quite nifty actually

No, that would be unuseable software. For what I mentioned to work, you need to unlock LFS with YOUR username and password, then you can change username and/or password to anything you like. As long as you don't press lock again, it'll stay in "offline S2" mode
Seems I missed that part then.

Well.. in that case, sounds pretty resonable to me, too, then.
