Tips & Warnings
A PopCap Games purchase gives you five licenses, meaning that you can install each game a total of five times (on new computers, after reformatting your hard drive, etc.). If you need more licenses, you can request more; the company reserve the right to provide extra licenses on a case-by-case basis.
