I bought the game Fate in 2006 and lost in a move and just found it I tried to put it on my new laptop and it wont take my code to unlock it . Help

Thank you for posting to Fixya.com and it is my pleasure to guide you.

"unlock code" You can not just copy "source files from "my dad's old desktop onto this computer" and expect it to work! Computers and software do not work that way. A lot of software engineers have written their code so that they will know when their software has been installed and to how many pcs. I ran into that problem when I had a hard drive crash on me and I had to reintall all my software including widows. You have to completely re-install the software on the next pc and then enter the "unlock code".

I did some research and found the following, which will be information for you. This is common sense for all software. I do not normally go to this extent but this makes a lot of sense.

How to Unlock the Code for Fate

In order to play the full version of the game, you must input an unlock code to verify that you have purchased the game. This is to prevent piracy of the game. You must purchase the game to unlock the code and play the game.

1. Purchase the Fate game legally. You can either purchase it from any electronics store that sells video games or online through the Wild Tangent or Fate websites. Avoid buying a used version of the game, as the unlock code cannot be used again.

2. Get the unlock code. If you purchased the game in a store, the unlock code will be inside the package on the game manual. If you purchased the game online, you will be given an unlock code when you install the game.

3. Install the game and input the unlock code when prompted. Make sure you enter the code exactly as it appears. You will then have access to the full Fate game.

Good luck and please post back that you are successful and give thumbs up if my solution has worked for you. If I can be more helpful just reply.

If that was a bought for version of Fate, you have just given your serial key to everyone.
Your only option is to look for one on a torrent site, try isoHUNT or piratebay

The game "FATE" by Wild Tangent Games has an activation code system, used for verification on whether or not a person bought the game. You cannot play "FATE" without the activation code. Many activation codes are made and used at the same time; So there is not just "One code". To obtain an activation code, you must buy the game, whether that is online, in real life at the store, or other methods of payment. The activation system is online-based, therefore, you cannot activate your game without internet access. With this, Wild Tangent has made it so that, once an activation code is used, it may never be used again. Because of that, if one were to post a code they have already used, it would be worthless to anyone else who might use it.

A lot of big computer games have official websites where if you register your game AND email them saying you lost your access code/serial number, they will send you another. (That's what Blizzard did for my Diablo game.) Hope this helps!

You get the unlock codes when you purchase the programs.
