I have two computers. One at my moms house and one at my dads house. I always leave the Cd at one of the houses and can't play it. Like right now I haven't been able to play since pre-patch so I don't know what its about. I was wondering if it would be possible and ethical to crack one of the computers so i wouldn't have to worry. I mean I would still be using just 1 cd key so its not like I would be able to have both going at the same time. I wouldn't mind talking to someone from ES if they think I can do this. Also somehow i think this isn't even possilbe... Anyways thanks to anyone that helps.

It would be nice if someone from ES posted, but do the cracks allow me to play online?

Then you use a loader not a crack.

I don't really care about other peoples ethics, but I avoid cracks and no-cd loaders nowadays. Have used them a lot in the past, mainly for the convenience of not having to mind what's in my CD reader all the time. But because of too oftenly getting game issues as a result of these oftenly quick'n-dirty coded patches I just don't want to anymore. It is unfortunate however that physical protection of game CD's are gearing towards an increasing part of customers having to either buy a new reader or use a crack to play the game they bought. The more advanced CD protection routines that mess with the physical layout of the discs are hard on many units that are not brand new. I hope that games that also require logging on to play online will gear away from this for the sake of the paying customers. Maybe software companies and drive manufacturers can agree on a more matured technique of doing it, but the problem only seems to increase in the near future.
