Once you've made a purchase from Yahoo! Downloadable Games using your Yahoo! ID and Yahoo! Wallet, our system will recognize you as an owner of that game.

When reinstalling the registered version of the game, you may be prompted to choose from the following: Play Now, Purchase Now or Renew Your License. If this is the case, please do the following:

  1. Click Play Now, Purchase Now, or Renew Your License.
  2. Sign in with your Yahoo! ID and password.
  3. Wait for the system to download the license on to your hard drive of your PC.
  4. Click Close.
  5. Now play your favorite game!
