Copy Protection
Linux Game Publishing employs a simple form of digital rights management similar to that employed by Games for Windows – Live. Upon the first run of the game, the user is prompted for a license key, alongside their LGP user name and password.
Some features includes:
- LGP copy protection does not require internet connection to install or play the game.
- This system does not require user to keep the disc inside the CD drive while playing games.
This system enables users to install the game on multiple systems (as there is not a limited number of activations), while also discouraging sharing by noting that any user who has access to the owner's LGP account credentials could potentially lock the owner out of their own game.
