Starcraft 2 locked out of Battle.net

[frozentundra123456]

I used the wrong e-mail to log into battle.net (dont ask) and now am locked out of my account with the error "too many attempts to log in". Anyone else had this problem, and how did they resolve it??


Also, can you install the game on 2 separate computers with the same account? I want to install the game on my desktop and on my gaming laptop also, but without purchasing a second copy of the game. Is this possible?? I know you could only use one comp at a time, but I was hoping I could switch from one computer to another without purchasing another copy of the game.

I think the battlenet issue goes away after an hour or so, there to stop someone from trying to brute force their way in, similar setup with my work pc login.

I don't have the game, but would assume that as long as you aren't trying to use the desktop and laptop at the same time you would be fine.

Yes you can install on as many different computers as you want.

correct

here is something to be said for linking the game to your Battle.net account, though. After installing the game to my PC, I then put the disc into my 27" iMac, installed it, signed on with my account, and there were my stats and saved games. The same thing with my laptop. The disc is pretty much completely unnecessary outside of being faster than a download to deliver the game code to your system. You don't have to worry about keeping your CD Key, or even your CD: once the game is authorized for your Battle.net account it's a simple thing to install the client and get it up and running on any of your systems. Whether or not that's worth the trade-offs is personal opinion, but it's worth pointing out that it's not all bad news when it comes to Battle.net.
