3. Unlock Rules and Regulations
3.1 You may install S1 or S2 on 2 computers for your own use or to race a friend on a Local Network.
3.2 You will initially be able to unlock LFS S2 or later versions 3 times. This allows you to unlock on two computers and keep one spare unlock.
3.3 We recognise that people may buy a new computer or reinstall their operating system from time to time. For this reason, we will automatically give you an extra spare unlock once a week (every friday morning), up to a maximum of having 2 spare unlocks available. The number of unlocks you have left can be found on your status page.
3.4 You must not give your username, WEB or GAME password to other LFS users.

so y arnt we aloud to share? its not like people in game say here u can use my account, me and my friends all chiped in to buy a s2...

Theres compleatly NOTHING wrong with that.

Did you and your friends ran out of unlocks?

no it doesnt say that i ran outta unlocks, it says game password doesnt match...

Apart from its stealing from the developers by using just one account for loads of racers. Its in the terms & conditions and I wouldn't suprised to see your account punished because you admitted to it.

were not "other" lfs users, were 3 friends who wanted s2 so we dicided to split some cash and buy it, someone tell me, whats wrong with that?

As stated, it's against the terms of the licence agreement, which whoever paid for the licence had to agree to. If you all want to play LFS with licenced content, you are required to buy individual licences. The licence holder is in breech of the licence agreement for giving the login details to you.

If the devs say your not allowed to do it then its final - you can't just say "there's nothing wrong with it" and get away with it. Your friend didn't read the terms & conditions like he should have.

just buy another licence! Contribute to LFS!!!

Well if the password doesnt match someone has changed it? i.e another one of your friends?

But yeah agreed it should be 1 license per racer not 1 license between 3.

If ur 100% sure that u have the right password.....then you better go talk to one of your friends. Looks like someone got greedy. If thats not the case then isn't it possible that the devs already banned your S2 account?

Hahahaha, your mates pulled a fast one on you!

At the risk of a thread lock, serves ye right

Look at it this way - if everybody shared their account between three people, the devs would lose out on 75% of their deserved income. And 75% of the LFS userbase wouldn't be paying for the services they're using (server hosting and all the overheads nd stuff that your license pays for).

Why is there any question over whether this is right or wrong? No matter how ridiculous a rule in the EULA may appear, if you break it, you've violated the EULA, and the devs have every right to revoke your license

did ur friend give you a S2 voucher or an S2 account?


...How many bananas have to die because of these problems?

In before the lock.

^^^im guessing 3?

There's a couple of possibilities that I see:
- you're blind and cannot see the typo in the password
- you're trying to unlock using your WEB password; the correct password to unlock with is the GAME password, which you use to login to the S2 account at http://www.lfs.net/
- this whole story is made up
- your mate(s) stole the account
- you bought a voucher and haven't used it yet

The TOU states one person per account, therefore purchasing one account for multiple people is liable to get you in trouble, and you may not be liable to get dev support because they do not provide it outside of the TOU. It's quite a common term of use, by the way.

Here's the only possibility I see.

You're the same person begging for an S2 licence. That's all I see.
