Default Copy Protection?

Looks like a nice game. But I no longer buy with on disk copy protection (where you have to insert the disk every time you want to play). Does this game have it? Thanks.

No. You do have a cd-key, but disk is not required to be in the drive. (Thank you for that Illwinter!)

Ok. Thanks for the info. Entering a key when installing is not a problem. This looks like a really good game.

The CD goes right into the vault after installation. A friend's 3 year old discovered what fun it was to play with shiny CD's one day.

One operating system back-up disc set and several hundred dollars worth of gaming software later he decided it was a good idea to get everything out of reach.

You can also intall it on mutliple machines. It wont let them play together but it does allow you to do your turns from home, work, laptop at some internet cafe, etc etc.

Also worth noting, the host doesnt refuse its own CD key. That means you can install a copy onto another machine (like a linux server) and use it to host games that you play in from your desktop on the same serial number.

WAY UNUSUALLY COOL to allow all of those option and still have enough copy protection to keep from losing their shirts.
