I want to install the new DB, I have uninstalled everything as stated in the setup wizard.
As I downloaded the game, you deactivate the game when you uninstall. I now need to re-activate the game to re-install, only problem is I have no clue how to do it.
Sorry if the answer is obvious but I have no idea honestly.  ops:
Help much appreciated  |

I basically just reinstall the game and type in my serial key. However, the problem is that it takes one activation, so if you're often reinstalling, as I do, I constantly have to request new keys.
This takes me to the deactive / reactive thing. When you uninstall, you get a deactivation key that you can use to reactivate the game without it taking an activation - I just seem to figure out where to put the reactivation key. |

Helpful but I don't know where to access PCM 2008 anymore, I deleted it from the hard drive, documents and uninstalled it using windows add/get rid of programmes.
There is nothing on PCM 2008 any more. No files, folders or anything 
Do I need to use metaboli? and I have my keys they are perfectly fine, I just have no clue how to use them, and how to re-install  |

Mike, I tried that deactivation key before, and let me tell you something: it didn't work, and I wasted 2 activations in one pc. To avoid the error, I made a backup of the PCM folder with a good database and all the needed extras installed.
The mail from Focus/Metaboli is:
I asked for new activations some days ago, and they replied to me today. Sirium, you probably need to contact them and ask a link to download the game, or hope that someone still have that link...

You need to redownload the game. When you bought it, you received an e-mail with the needed links. |

What i've found to work is to just click cancel when it asks if you want to de-install the protection, and gives u a key. It still de-installs the game, but when u re-install it, it will remember the key for you and fill it in, and no need to re-activate.
