Starforce DVD Drive Help

[BlazeNWO]

yea they do require activation, but it def. has starforce in it, Pid confirmed it, there cant be any other reason for it not working, it was working fine then after I installed it it stopped working so it must be starforce

It can't be Starforce, because you don't have a CD/DVD.

It could technically may have an alternative similar to SF by checking a certain file for activation rights. Its possible the SF programmers have come up with something for this kind of thing?

There have been a number of downloadable game demos released protected with Starforce, Still Life is one of them, so you actually don't need a CD/DVD drive to have Starforce protected games! Look at Macrovision and their SafeCast licensing system where you just need a code to activate the software after installing, PlexTools Pro XL is an example of that, and Starforce can be made to do the same thing!

Well I'd rather be likened to a student than a schoolkid, the majority of schoolkids are a waste of space these days, but I digress!

Checkout the Still Life website, it's the same people that made Syberia 1 & 2:

Maybe legally downloaded games have no typical SF prot at all, but it have SF. It is called ProActive, the SF engine for non disc checking. Only disc check from sector disappear, but it is SF definetively.
