Re: Installing games without using CD to play the games

The latest ver of Alcohol 120 requires activation, in my case this was
unacceptable. I bought the product 2 years ago and then a month ago I
found out that they switched to requiring it. Sigh. So if you don't
like activation like other sane minded people then you'll have to use
CloneCD or BlindWrite (BlindWrite is the best).....or just use the
trial of Alcohol to create your image and then use Daemon Tools to
mount it. ;)
