Hi I was just looking through the southampton thread for any photos to recreate it in ms.paint and I noticed the top of the threadboard now says that the thread requires a password, anyone know what this means? Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Bon Log in to reply |

As Southampton isn't generally available it's just a historical artifact, older versions of the simulation that where once available for download needed as password to run, the one that's shown on the forum.

Wait so is that possible then to get a version of the sim from someone who has it? and then play it using said password?

See the Software Licence Agreement where Para 2.4 includes "The Licensee may not make available the Simulation for use by one or more third parties." “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Last edited: 25/04/2022 at 09:03 by postal Reason: None given Log in to reply The following users said thank you: Peter Bennet, A350100BA, elltrain3, GeoffM |

Though you if you don't keep the software, you are permitted to transfer it to somebody else (1.a.ii). So in theory if you find somebody with a copy of Southampton he or she no longer requires, they could transfer it to you…

Having said that 2.4 is about .sim files, not .exe files to which earlier t&cs. would have applied. However, I've no reason to believe that such terms were not the same in effect if not in wording. I've probably got a copy somewhere as I recall helping draft them: or was that the Forum t&cs. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |
