Is it possible to play LAN games with 1 copy of SB Pro PE? Reason I'm asking is that the game came with this CM-stick... The game can play without the disk, but the stick must be in. Is it possible to remove the stick after game has started, stick it in another PC (that has SB Pro PE installed on) and start playing multiplayer??

No. There is a grace period during which the game looks for the stick, but after a few minutes, sb will disconnect the session and shut the game down.

Any way to go around this? I mean I would use the "game" on my 2 home computers that are directly connected with a cable... Possible in any way? Devs?

Its possible using some of the cool features of the cm stick - and ssnake has mentioned implementing something like this some time in the future.

Can you be more specific, as I don't know any of the cool features? I actually thought that the stick is a USB memory stick with SB logo, but it turned out to be something else ;)

Im saying they could allow some sort of lan party mode if they want to - it just takes time to implement such an idea.

OK!
It would be nice if they did so, as the chance of illegal copies that way is quite limited when every time one starts the program it would need to check the stick. But after that it wouldn't be needed.

It is our intent to enable at least two computers in a LAN to run from the same CM stick, but to implement this we need time to integrate the CodeMeter API - at least that's how I understood what the holdup is.
