I downloaded the Virtual Families 2 free trial but it keeps asking for an activation code, which I don't have. How do I get into the free trial?

Thank you!

UPDATE: This issue was resolved on April 17, and the updated game should now be propagated to all of the servers. If you are having this issue, please read this post, which describes how to get the updated game.


An activation code isn't needed to play the trial version of Virtual Families 2: Our Dream House for Windows.

Even though this screenshot is for Virtual Families, you should see a screen similar to the one featured in the link below. You can press the play button to play the one-hour trial.

Let me know if you continue to have difficulties!

I don't get that to come up. I get "the security key for this program currently stored on your system does not appear to be valid" and I can't get passed this.

I had the same problem, there was no way to initialize the game at all. I knew I wanted it so I just bought it to avoid the issue.

I am also Getting this message. After running the instal and before any kind of LDW screen. After running install it displays a window with my computer name and a place to enter key.

Here is a screen of the problem just in case

Selecting no does not seem to help either.

MY computer is older I want to make sure it will run before I buy. I did not see any system requirements for purchase,

We're investigating this issue. We think there might be an issue with the DRM file when the original VF game has been activated on the same system. If you have a different computer that has not had the original VF installed and activated, the VF2 trial will work fine.

Will bypassing the trial and purchasing the game solve the problem (for those of us willing/able) even if we have the original VF installed and activated? (Maybe somebody who has already purchased the game + has the original can help answer this?)

But thank you for the feedback on what's going on

Thanks for response. I uninstalled, Useing LDW uninstall Program. Reinistalled. Selected Cancel on first message. Same error. This is what my Task Manager show befor I select cancel. ___ Guess file was too big. Task Manager shows two Virtual Families 2.exe running - -
