Like I said  I just bought the cd from the store, I din't registrew the game at all.

That stupid.  I bought the first game and there was no code that came with it.  At all.  Requiring something that doesn't exist and asking people to buy it because you never supplied it in the first place is very poor sport indeed.

I don't know what you're talking about.  The game didn't not requie SDC (although I did use it for GCII) and the website said nothing about it either.  To update the game, you merely had to submit your email on the website and a link to the update was email to you minutes later.  There was no registration involved.  Maybe this was true in a later version of the boxed game, I don't know.  I do know that at no time was there ever any code that I had to enter anywhere to update to do anything else.

Mind you I no longer play that old version, but I am saying that the original poster is likely right.

Ubi didn't include any serials with the game, so retail PM04 buyers had to use an openly available standalone patch (no serial meant no SDC support). I don't see it anywhere on the site here anymore, but third-party gaming sites such as FileFront do have it.

Because you purchased online, through us, and so your info is in the database.

I don't know why serial numbers weren't provided in the boxed 2004 version, but know that now that we're self publishing, we/you wont have to be subjected to weird anti-piracy schemes again And any boxed copy users that regester will have full downloadable access to the game.

Cat: Man, I have no idea why the game shows up for you (it's definatly not in your customer info). We should really wait until garber comes back, though, cause we'll just go round 'n round assuming what the issue is.

My best guess is that, due to regestry settings, if you install from the CD, it'll pick the game up in Impulse and list it there. However, due to the crappy CD Checking stuff Ubisoft made us add, when you try to run the game it errors out (either on the Impuse end or on the game side).  Again, can't be sure.

So Sorry! Thought the thread died. I have the CD, the box, the manual, and everything else.  And I was able to update it for awhile, but now I can't and Impusle says there is a new update. If I were to register the game now, could I get the Update?

I tried to register on the ubisoft website to get the code, but it didn't work. I guess I might just have to live without that last patch seeing as that I can't get that code.

garber: I'm sure we can find the patch for you   We had no idea 2004 didn't ship with serial numbers until we dusted off then busted open some old copies.

In fact, we should just make the patch available on the website somewhere (I doubt Ubisoft even remebers publishing PM2004)...I'll look into it.
