LANs and accounts

I understand that I can use one serial on two machines for LAN play (?). I bought my Sins through Stardock / download.

Here's my plan:

I have a friend, and we're planning to play Sins on LAN this weekend. He must be converted to the Sin-side. His girlfriend, being a most excellent girlfriend, is keen to play, too, as long as she's playing with us and not on her own. So I've decided to buy them a copy.

So we'll have 3 machines and 2 copies, which I think will work.

The question, then, is: am I an idiot? Will this work?

Do I buy a second copy on my account, then log into my TGN/Stardock account with each machine to download another copy? Or is there an installation file I can tansfer around? Or do I try to give my TGN tokens to his account (if that's even possible) and download from there? I don't remember being asked for a serial when I installed Sins with this account - though I often forget to wear PANTS, so that's not really saying much.

Anyway, advice of feasibility is much appreciated.

Apologies for the long time before replies to help or questions - I, like a large proportion of the Sins community right now who have been finishing off - or acting as - tenacious enemies, really need some sleep.

Yeah, this will work. Note that you have to have a unique serial for ICO though.

I'd make him another account and then gift it to him.

AFAIK it's possible but you'd have to manually activate the second copy, and it'll be a pain to make sure everything works out right. It'd be simplest to just put the second copy on another account, especially if you plan to give it to them (then you can just give them the login details and they can take it over and change it to their own email/password)

Thanks - but apparently I can't gift tokens. So I guess I'll have to log into my own account from their pcs.
