Of course I have WOFF UE.
Bought it on Day 1, installed it, never had an issue.
Started having W10 issues recently though (thought at first it a HD failure) but got it figured out and decided to try a Windows "reset" instead of a complete wipe of things.
This reportedly resets just Windows leaving your "files intact." Sounds good! And it worked fine - all files intact - but essentially worthless as the reset wipes the registry, i.e., WOFF would not work. Okay, no sweat, just do a quick reinstall of UE just to get the registry settings back. Done except now WOFF UE wants my original registration code.

Again no sweat I figure. I have UE saved to two separate HD's, a DVD, and a flash drive for safekeeping and did the same for the code except...yes you guessed...I can't remember where, in the 3 or 4 places I probably saved it, it is.

Old age! Not all it's cracked up to be. Gonna dig around some more, before I crawl like a dog to OBD Support, and ask what it is. This time I'll save it to 6 or 7 places so I can find it.

Email sent to OBD Support.

EDIT: Well no one can accuse OBD of slacking. Got an answer in about 5 minutes. Outstanding as always.

I just keep mine in a "text" file in the same folder as my original WOFF UE download files. That way they are all together every time, when ever I need to reload the game.

OBD to the rescue!

Glad to hear that you are sorted, Duke. Now get back up into the sky and flame some Huns, Tommies, Frogs, or Yanks--please take your pick!

A registration code, I even do not remember I needed one , Was this originally sent with the files dowloaded ?

Hi kaa - what was being referred to for WOFF UE is the order number.

I believe you contacted us about this on support? Anyway for anyone else reading, if you need your order number to enter when WOFF asks you during install, and you have lost it, please contact support


The order number would have been on the emails received during the purchasing process.

Yes. The technically correct term is "order number" not "registration number" but obviously I forgot that too.
