Hmm that's a bit worrying... Are there any dll files in the same folder as your ehm2005.exe file? If so, these might give a clue as to what licensing system is being used. For example, in my EHM 2007 installation folder, there is a file named elicen40.dll which when I right-click -> Properties -> Details it tells me that it's eLicense.

I guess I'm not sure. Basically what happened is... My computer crashed, and I downloaded the "try and buy" from this site and installed the game. Then downloaded the patch threw the TBL downloads. Applied the patch and started the game and the top popup came first then the bottom window poped up when i clicked "enter key" button on the top popup.

So it looks like e licences for ehm 05' are unavailable now.

Can you post a screenshot of the folder where you installed EHM 2005? I want to see what DLLs are located there as it'll narrow it down.

Hmmm unfortunately it didn't really reveal anything. The dll in your screenshot indicates the wrapper used (SoftwarePassport/Armadillo) but not the digital licensing system... Have you tried entering your email address and licence code in the prompt you encounter?

I'll drop Riz a PM later this week. Maybe he'll know what the situation is.

OK. Id be curious to know. I just hope they are still going to honor our previous purchases. I was screwed when my cpu crashed. I was luckly able to get my back up cpu up and running. then I download the game of tbl. and go to plug in my license and no good. I host DMB, so I cant afford to be down long because them players leave and dont come back. :-(
