Certain EA PC games with SecuROM digital rights management technology allow users to concurrently "authorize" up to five computers at the same time to play the games. Users can then play the game on any authorized computer they choose. If your EA PC game was released after May 2008 and has a machine authorization limit, you can now manage your computer authorizations using this EA De-Authorization Management Tool!

If you choose to take advantage of the de-authorization tool, you have two options.:
De-Authorization Options
Select Option 1
Option 1: De-Authorization using the EA De-Authorization Management Tool (this download)
De-authorization with the EA De-Authorization Management Tool is a simple two-step process:
(1) Download this EA De-Authorization Management Tool. This tool: (a) scans your computer to determine which EA PC games released after May 2008 with machine authorization limits your computer has been authorized to play; and (b) tells you how many computer authorizations you have available for each detected game.
(2) Download the game-specific de-authorization tool(s) to de-authorize your computer for whichever game(s) you choose. Once de-authorized, a machine "slot" will be freed up and can be re-used on another machine. De-authorization does not uninstall the game, however, so if you decide you want to re-authorize your computer later, all you have to do is re-launch the game.
Option 2: De-Authorization With Game-Specific Tools Only
Use this option if you know the game you would like to de-authorize from this computer and would like to skip the first step of Option 1.
