Alpha Protocol DRM details

Sega reveals some details about the copy protection of the upcoming action RPG

Posted on
SEGA has revealed some details regarding the DRM copy protection that will be used by the upcoming espionage shooter, Alpha Protocol.

In a nutshell, the PC version of Alpha Protocol uses an internet based licensing system. After installation, the user is required to enter a valid product registration code (license key) in order to begin playing the game. An internet connection is necessary to do this. The full description follows:
The system chosen for Alpha Protocol is Uniloc: SoftAnchor. The system will allow the user to activate Alpha Protocol online immediately out of the box and once activated the user never needs to worry about activating again. The activation can be used on a limited amount of PCs, and can be deactivated through our online servers allowing the user full control over their license – should they need to re-install, swap machines or suffer a catastrophic hardware failure on their normal PC.
 
In the future, SEGA will be releasing an unprotected patch of the game to alleviate any fears of not being able to play the game when the Uniloc servers won’t be around anymore.
 
We also do not use Steamworks – the Steam released version will use Uniloc DRM.
 
For a full list of FAQs and details about the DRM can be found on the official blog announcement. Alpha Protocol is set to release across PC, 360 and PS3 on June 1st.
