You will if you install the regular game on June 2, it will ask for registration and check your registration number to make sure it's by Maxis. I guess it will have a phone number to call for verification. Yeah they are verifying the regs cause they can be generated by other means. I guess that EAxis have special encrypted keygens.
Thank you lewis,
I had a feeling about that but wanted to be sure. EA just lost another customer,
as my comp I want to install it to, has no internet access.
I bought all my Sims1 and Sims2 and all EP's for both games, now it looks like I've to get it the other way.
EA sucks, but that's nothing new!
