ssphillips0,

Did you send an email to sowsupport at scourgeofwar dot com with your code and email address you used to purchase the game ?

What problems are you encountering with the activation ?

We really have not had many complaints at all. It's a system that is in thousands of pieces of software, it's nothing we invented. We felt it was the least intrusive. We have never had a report of the game getting deactivated for no reason. I've been playing with the same activation for years. But if you can recreate the game getting deactivated on it's own, please email the details to our support. 90% of the people activate the game once and then never touch it. Many people move their codes between multiple computers with no problems. We've even activated guys on tour in Iraq without internet access.

We really looked into your issue tonight and your code has been compromised. It has been requested to be reactivated from multiple emails, from around the world. This is why you are having issues. Never share your code with anyone. If you will continue to work with us we hope that maybe we can track down how this happened. Since you bought from Impulse, you will have to request a refund from them if that is the path you want to pursue.

I don't know if this is any help what-so-ever, and maybe I am over stepping my boundaries...I came across this little tidbit concerning Impulse, and I'm not even sure if this is the same Impulse or not. It's a small forum thread back in 2011 about Impulse database being hacked.

Like I said I could be overstepping my boundaries...

No, the DRM/activation was removed several patches/years ago.
