BioShock Activation Tool 1.0 released!

Quote:

Small tool to backup your existing BioShock game activation data, so you can restore it later without actually activating the game, meaning you can actually re-install game bilions of times without wasting another (very limited) activation ticket or you can even re-activate it without internet connection!
Sounds great? It does, trust me

IMPORTANT:
Make sure your copy of BioShock is activated before doing backup with my tool.
BioShock Activation Tool is NOT a cracking utility, it doesn't bypass first time activation and it's NOT an NoCD patched EXE!
Backup can ONLY be used on PC where you created the very same backup.

Tool tested on European retail version of BioShock.

Actually, it's RejZoRs own program, Viking. So, it's more like, "Sweet @$$ program you got there, RejZoR! Nicely done. Rep points coming your way!"

Hehe, basically the GUI part is the one that required the most time to finish. Basically the activation backup is very simple (just dump the registry key), but i made the GUI so even total noobs can do it.
I thought not all can work with sys tools like regedit
