Yesterday, Draconis made the following announcement reguarding their game keys.
Sinse this is a fairly important one, it's probably best for them to use their own words rather than paraphrasage from me, so Quothe Draconis:
"Greetings gamers,
Our new automated ordering system will be going live in the next
couple of days, and with this new system come some changes, some of
which are very important, so please read this entire message.
1. Future titles will require online activation. You will be able to
activate and deactivate your games, but you will be limited to only a
certain number of concurrent installations. This will effect only
future titles.
2. Between now and midnight PDT on 16/June/2009, we will fill any
requests for replacement registration keys at the usual cost of the
replacement. (This is typically 25% of the original cost of the game,
with a minimum of $5, per key.) Requests should be sent to
[email protected]
After that time, Draconis will no longer be offering replacement
registration keys under any circumstances. If you need a replacement,
you need to get it now.
We regret the need to make these changes, but piracy and the sharing
of keys has, sadly, become an epidemic.
We look forward to providing you with some new games soon for Mac,
Windows, and maybe another platform as well...and I don't mean Linux.

Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
