StarCraft 2 Installation Question?

Ei guys I'm planning to get StarCraft2.

My Question is if the installation CD only recognizes or allows to install it only in one machine, what if in the future I change or upgrade to a new mbp would time machine allow me to install the game to the new machine?

Hope some one can clarify this for me. Thanks!!!

Nevermind, misread your question.

it goes through battle.net. i think you can install it multiple times but you need to connect it to your account to install it.

hmm... that's possible... if i remember correctly when you switch to a new mac it ask if you want to "migrate" all your back up files from time machine (and if i remember correctly this includes applications) does this include applications (such as starcraft 2 or any application valid for one machine purchase only) without the hassle of obtaining new serial keys or looking for that darn installation disk?

yeah it includes apps.

great!!! so i won't have any problems then reinstalling the whole thing then on a new machine in the future! thanks!!!

As long as Battle.net exists, your account is safe and your game will be considered as purchased.

Which side do you play btw?

back with the first Starcraft i usually play terran or protoss. Don't know yet with this new installment. Heard there are a few changes with the characters and this is just the first of the 3 installments of starcraft 2.

how bout you which side do you play with?

i haven't bought the game yet but mind if i ask if my machine (13in MBP 2.3Ghz i5, 4GB RAM, and integrated intel GPU) would stand the demand of the game? I don't plan going heavy on the graphics. I just want optimum conditions of a decent framerate and game speed.

it works on my 2010 MBP, playable framerates look slightly like an upgraded PS2 game. but then, you have an i5, so it might be a bit nicer to you, unless your let down by the slightly weaker graphics chipset.

You are going to have to turn the graphics down, however it will work and be playable for you.
