Hi.Still finding our way round at the moment.
There's three of us using the same S2 license,do all three people have their stats saved or just the one account holder?
Any help much appreciated.

Sharing your S2 license is NOT allowed, I'm afraid. You signed a license agreement when purchasing S2 and that's a direct violation.

3.1 You may install S1 or S2 on 2 computers for your own use or to race a friend on a Local Network.
...
3.4 You must not give your username, WEB or GAME password to other LFS users.


And the mandatory :bananadea just for the heck of it.
As spanky said, that's against the End User TOU agreement that you agree to abide by when purchasing your license. All three users need to have different licenses.

Now, personally, if all three of you live in the same household, I don't think you need to buy three licenses. That's just my opinion, though. Of course, all three people can not race online at the same time with the same license, only on a LAN connection.
That'll be a "No", then.Thanks.

Well atleast you got a licence and didn't crack the game.

Easy there with calling names.

Please..

I'll just give out my licence to my 2 mates then. :


come on guys, be nice and gentle
As MAGGOT has said, as long as it is in the same household their isn't really anything wrong with that. LFS is still installed on one computer, there is a reason for being able to create more than one player on a license

On the other hand if it's installed on three computers then yea, they'd be breaking the license agreement.
@ smiddy:
There's an old TV episode of a show called "Good Times" where these three guys buy a car together.....

Well your post got me to thinking about something else, We have two computers running out of the same hub thingee. If we did buy two accounts, I know that LFS world could separate the two, but what if say two people
was to get on both of these computers and try to go online, yet for some stupid reason or another have the same player name? What would happen?
No "end of the world as we know it" responses please.

Also @ smiddy. You know more than a few people have been known to yell at demo users for not getting a license. I personally don't think y'all did any real harm seeing that all the users can't be on simultaneously AND a license was bought - not cracked. But you might have other problems down the line with your friends

Now is there really any need for that? It's obvious a guy has just bought the game and it's his first post on the forums and he gets like abuse like that hurled at him.

smiddy - if all three people are using the same machine (as i assume you are) then all stats are saved under the username you registered when you bought the game and the only way to get seperate stats is to buy a seperate licence i'm afraid.

Well at least you got a licence and didn't crack the game.

That's a very nasty thing to say, seeing as you have no idea and you are assuming that smiddy is sharing his license with friends in different places.

I can tell you, smiddy has unlocked ONCE with his account, and this goes to prove that your assumption is wrong. What a pity to attack a new forum user, when you haven't even tried to find out the facts.

Davo and anyone else who reads this and would have been inclined to say the same thing, just watch out what happens when you make assumptions and so insult and accuse other people who have done nothing wrong. As a provider of this forum I find that quite embarrassing.
You're a cheat too Scawen, we know you only pretend to be 1 person... We're on to you...

Here is tip what everyone can use, post only what you are ready to say face to face and think that one you are talking to is 2m tall martial arts expert with short fuse
Picturing some people around here with muscles is quite frightening.
How about adding some apologising, contrite, and embarrassed bananas to the smilie list?

Or picturing some of you gals with muscles ... ... ok, I must clear that picture with hard format from my mind, too horrible

2 hours exercising 3-4 times a week and I'm almost 190cm tall, combine that with my posts and this image and will get laugh of year or scared for death

Uups, almost forgot to add value to thread.

I would like to see possible of running my license in both of my computers for rare cases when some friend comes to visit and we could do some lan racing together. But it of course would be bit hard to make possible I believe.

Well sorry for saying that, it was more in reposnse to smiddy's snide little remark. I'll leave the flaming banana matters alone.
JTBo, you can do what you want in this case:
3.1 You may install S1 or S2 on 2 computers for your own use or to race a friend on a Local Network.

And for snide remarks (this goes out to Davo) I see none from smiddy. I just see his kindness.

Does it work in both so if I unlock in other it stays unlocked in another too? Haven't never even tried
Yes, it works this way. I generally dislike these kind of unlocks, but Scavier has chosen to handle these matters in a nice way.

Edit: however you can't go online with two computers with the same license at the same time. Just lan play.

Ah, that is very nice from them, even I have been thinking of getting one extra S1 license as it is not very expensive
@Mike85
That has definitely been suggested before, and I think everyone agreed it'd be a good idea. That way you could set up different controls and hotkeys for different play styles, Road, RallyX, Drift and C&R. It makes sense.
But I'm not sure if they ever confirmed it was in the pipeline or not, or if it even made it into the improvement suggestions sticky.
