Wenn ihr keine Codes mehr übrig habt, besorgt euch früh genug neue.
Am besten gehts über die Emailadresse sales@rfactor.net oder purchase@rfactor.net mit dem Betreff "Renew Request"
Email bitte auf Englisch verfassen. In die Email schreibt ihr rein, das ihr rFactor reaktiviert haben möchtet.
Desweiteren bitte eure IMA Nummer die in eurer Kauf Email steht, und die Emailadresse mit der ihr rFactor gekauft habt. Ohne das gehts net.
Ihr bekommt dann eine Email das rFactor reaktiviert wurde, dann könnt ihr rFactor ganz normal mit eurem Code reaktivieren.
P.S:
Das ganze funzt natürlich auch wenn ihr normal neue Codes braucht.
Edit: Der Patch ist jetzt verfügbar.

Additional explanations:
1. The right way to install an up to date version of rFactor is:
FULL 1.150 version + 1.250 update + 1.255 F build Full Update patch
You will have to reactivate rFactor when launching it for the first time.
(As noted in the official FAQ, a complete digital download containing all the 3 files above will be released some time in the future.)
*****
2. If you have installed the D build Full Update patch (with sounds), you can download and install the EXE only F Update patch (which is a smaller download as it does not contain the required sounds).
No further reactivation is required in this case.
*****
3. If you have installed any other 1.255 build prior to D, download and install the F build Full Update patch.
No further reactivation is required in this case.
*****
4. Everything above relate ONLY to the digital downloaded version of rFactor. DO NOT apply any of the patches and updates mentioned above on the DVD version of rFactor.
The DVD version is already 1.255.
If you have CTD problems with your DVD version caused by the AMD Athlon XP incompatibility, you can download and install the older DVD "D" patch. The CTD issue will be resolved, but you will have significantly longer loading time. A "F" build DVD patch is not yet available at this time.
*****
5. Before you ask, the 1.255 patch is a compatibility and security patch.
The only improvement that will be obvious to ordinary users are significantly faster loading times and mod switching times. There are NO other changes nor improvement are made.
No mods or tracks are affected in any way and should work as before.
It is possible that some very specific addons that closely relied on the exe file would need some additional updates.
*****
6. IMPORTANT: As Windows consider the new version of the exe file as a completely new file, DO NOT FORGET to exclude the new exe from being scanned by your anti virus software, and to allow it in your firewall software !
