PC gamers who bought BioShock may have taken issue with the constraints put in place by the game’s publisher 2K. The good news is that the activation limits, which previously prevented the game from being installed on more than 5 PCs, have been removed.

Posting on the 2K forums, 2K’s community manager Elizabeth Tobey announced;

As promised, all activation restrictions, including install limits, have been removed from BioShock PC as of today. You don’t have to patch or install anything for this to go into effect for your copy of BioShock – it’s already done!

Up until now, whenever you wanted to install BioShock you had to register your copy online. Their servers would then limit the number of PCs you could install the game on. This limit has now been completely removed.

Tobey further clarified the situation, saying that;

You will still have to activate your copy, and you will still need to keep the disc in the drive. SecuROM has not been removed — just the activation limits on number of installs and number of computers you can install BioShock on simultaneously.
