Hello, once more I turn to the Internet Answer Machine.

- I want to buy a Popcap game (Plants vs Zombies) for somebody as a gift
- This person does not own steam
- Can I pay for the game, download the install file, and give the install file on a flash drive or something? This will work all fine once its installed on the recieving person's computer?

returns upon momentous occasions.

Hey man,

Yeah.. I happened to buy Plants VS Zombies, and I have 5 licenses :D So that means. I bought it, i installed it on my PC. Then i went to my girlfriend's, downloaded the demo and reactivated hers with the same license :D

Computers that have it:
1. Mine
2. Girlfriend
3. Girlfriend's brother
4. Grandfather
5. Sister

Plants vs Zombies is an excellent investment. Good luck with that!!
