Why is EA offering the De-Authorization Tools?
Combating piracy is essential to ensure the continued creation of high-quality, innovative games and limiting the number of machines on which a single game can be concurrently played is an important tool in our anti-piracy efforts. We recognize that there are many reasons why a gamer might want more flexibility and control over which machines are authorized to play their games. As part of EA’s ongoing commitment to delivering more transparency and choice to gamers, we have created these tools to help gamers mange their authorizations. These new tools can be used by gamers to easily determine which games are authorized on which machines. And if they want to de-authorize one machine in favor of another, these tools give them the ability to do so. There are two types of EA De-Authorization Tools available to help you manage your authorizations: the EA De-Authorization Management Tool and the Game-Specific De-Authorization Tools.
