Mass Effect on PC

[EpsilonX]

i did some research and its three installs total - whether its 3 times on one computer, or 1 install on 3 computers - the ea servers require authentication every few days to make sure no one is cheating. It sux i know, but they are doing it for the money and to keep people from cracking the game - its smart in the sense of protecting their product but dumb because people will be repelled from this.

You Can Only Install Mass Effect on PC Three Times

that link has some info, i also looked on a few other sites

Well that's like...only being able to start 3 new games on a console game. Is there ANY way around it? What if I've already used up my 3 Installs and I want to install the game again? Do I have to buy a brand new copy?
