gMax without internet

Postby zaba » Wed Aug 13, 2003 7:27 am

I'm new for gMax. Is it possible to run gMax on computer without internet connection, after registration made on a second one, using the same password?

The key part is not the password nor the registration number, but the cookie that gets made when you do the online registration. The software looks for that cookie when it starts up, and if it doesn't find it, it won't go.

Someone with more knowledge than I will have to answer the question if it's possible to transfer a cookie from one machine to another.

I run FS on a standalone computer and tried to get Gmax to run on that one, but even after I found the cookie and transferred it, the program wouldn't work, so what I did is just loaded Gmax on my net computer and worked it there.  I got it on the computer by installing FS and then transferring all pertinent material for Gmax into another folder and uninstalling FS.  This seemed to work, and my Gmax is running fine.

It seems that cookies will not transfer, so the answer to your question is no, you can't do it.  Sorry. :-/

I found this posted in last year's topics on the Gmax official support forum.
I would start Gmax on a Computer without Internet.
Exist any Site where i can download a patch or something?

Try this: Get on an internet connected pc and download this file to a floppy. Take it to your pc w/gmax and run the file. http://www.geocities.com/branden726/GMAXREG.html?1019849155030


Click the text to download the file. Instructions are included. I haven't tried it myself.
