Can anyone tell me how to deauthorise my current game activation? (crysis 2 i mean)

I need to format my PC and don't want to loose any activations

Doesn't matter, once you hit the limit contact EA Live Chat and they'll give you more activations

It will de-activate automatically when you uninstall the game.
So, uninstall the game before you re-format.

is there not a way to do it so i don't have to end up running out?

No, the game is intalled on it's own.
You will get a pop up when you uninstall the game saying it has been de-activated.

Ok thank you very much

Be carful with de-activations there is actully a limit on how many you can do (not just activation), seen it in another thread showing a screen grab saying something like "your de-activation limit has been reached, contact support" etc..

He can always contact ea to sort that out (even tho its a massive pain)

wait, what? they limit how many times you can deactivate? THAT is ****.

I don't think they have a deactivation limit. It wouldn't make sense if they actually have a limit.

To deactivate simply go to the install directory and in the bin32 there is an activation.exe app that would allow you to deactivate without uninstalling.

I thought as much... I mean hell, if the server detected it going on all the time and decided that's fishy, even THAT I could understand... but to outright say "you can only deactivate X times" is.... really pathetic. I can put up with activation limits if they let me get them back when Im done with THAT COPY on THAT PC, but.... what's the point if they do that?
