Walking Dead S1 - Activation Required Every Time

Hello,

I recently installed walking dead (Season 1) on my PC (bought it roughly 2 years ago, I think, but only got an adequate video card last month) and it works pretty good for the most part. However, every time I fire the program up it requires me to log in (presumably to activate it). I have heard that there are a limited number of activations that one can do with a telltale game, so I would like to figure out how to permanently activate it so that I don't have to do this every time.

Thanks.

    I apologize for the inconvenience. If you purchased the game from us, you own it on your account, and can download it to your computer as many times as you like. The Log In is only to log into your Telltale account, and not to activate the game. You should not have to log into the game every time you start it. If you are prompted every time, this may be an issue with your registry.

    Please open a command window. (Below are instructions on how to open a command window)

    Windows XP: Go to your start menu and click on run. Type in "cmd" and press enter

    Windows Vista / 7: Press the Windows key. Type in "cmd" and press enter

    Windows 8: At the start screen, type in "cmd" and press enter

    Then copy the command line below and paste it into the command window, press enter, and confirm the question (to confirm the question, type “y” and press enter):


    REG DELETE "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Telltale Games\Launcher”

    (Please make sure when you copy the above text that you do not copy a space before or after the text, as that will produce an error message. If you still receive an error after inputting the command line, please try typing in the command line one letter/symbol at a time into the Command prompt)

    Please then try launching The Walking Dead again.
