Hi all, i'm hoping you can help me out.

I'm not a gamer but tbh once in a while i do get hooked on certain titles, first one was the original COD then Half life and a 2 year stint on Eve online. I love games were you have to realy on real life tactics to play .. Thing is i`ve recently been watching a load of quality pvp Dayz vids on you tube and i got hooked on the game without actually playing it...

After talking to my bro about this game and found out he played it, sweat i thought nice one. Anyway he said try out on my Gamefly account on your comp and if you like it go out and buy it.

Now this what i want help with i've installed both Arma 2 games and the dayz mod with all the update on my comp with his account details and had a few hours playing it, F'in awesome what can i say ;) well happy with the game . Thing is now i`ve got his cd key and gamefly account on my comp, all i want to do now is create a new Gamefly or Steam account and get it to see that i`ve got the games installed then buy new cd keys so the programs are mine. i dont realy want to waste any more time going through the whole 2x Arma 2 program install and updates again... Any help would be greatfull cheers.....

Do you mean you have purchased a new copy of the game for yourself and want to do a fresh install without it conflicting with his keys?

no what i want to do is buy a new cd key for both Amra 2 games and change the key so it aint my bros any more. Basically i want to purchase the product without going through the whole install again, use what i've all ready got installed but just change the key.. cheers...

lol, cheers. It can probably be done by cleaning the old keys from your registry but TBH I'd just play it safe and do a clean intstal. It's a pain in the ass but it's more of a pain to get a global ban...

C'mon, it doesn't take that much time! The worst part is actually waiting for Steam to dl it. The rest is a breeze.
