Alpha Protocol's DRM explained
The Sega Blog has been updated with some word on the DRM used in the PC version of Obsidian Entertainment's upcoming espionage RPG Alpha Protocol. The best news: it will disappear after a certain amount of time:
No permanent internet connection required, five activations on different computers to start with, ... sounds a good system if you ask me!
The system chosen for Alpha Protocol is Uniloc: SoftAnchor. The system will allow the user to activate Alpha Protocol online immediately out of the box and once activated the user never needs to worry about activating again. The activation can be used on a limited amount of PCs, and can be deactivated through our online servers allowing the user full control over their license – should they need to re-install, swap machines or suffer a catastrophic hardware failure on their normal PC.
In the future, SEGA will be releasing an unprotected patch of the game to alleviate any fears of not being able to play the game when the Uniloc servers won’t be around anymore.
We also do not use Steamworks – the Steam released version will use Uniloc DRM.
In total you can "activate" the game five times on different computers. After that you can "deactivate" the game and again reactivate on another computer.In the future, SEGA will be releasing an unprotected patch of the game to alleviate any fears of not being able to play the game when the Uniloc servers won’t be around anymore.
