I got my new computer and installed Crysis Warhead, but the game says I used up all my activations and to contact support. I've been digging through their site but I don't see any specific section where they explain how to get more licenses. Am I screwed?

Just email EA support and ask for more. EA Support email on the left menu.
Alternativly if they prove to be a pain in the ass the crysis maximum edition with crysis and warhead and the multiplayer portion I believe has no online activations just a securom disc check.

Sweet! That worked. Thanks!

No problem, did you just ask for the extra activations and they gave them to you or did you have to prove you owned the game or anything like that?
How many activations do Crysis has? I think I've used up three so far.
EDIT: Oh and there's an activation revocation tool that should be able to free up spent activations without you needing to contact support.

The original Crysis has no activation requirements. Just a rather shoddy disc check that is arguably worse. Crysis Warhead (EA Store version) has 5.

Crysis Warhead has 5 activations, while normal crysis should only have a disc check. I think EA has a revoke tool for when your done with your game you can get off their website to try and preserve your last couple activations.
Oh, I misread that for the original Crysis.
Thanks, guys. :)

For the future: http://activate.ea.com/deauthorize/
Slightly OT, but apparently -- according to one user on the Steam forums, the Steam version of Crysis does have an activation limit (and no revoke tool) but no one seems able to prove whether that's actually true.
Anyone got the Steam version and had any experience with that?
The steam page states: DRM is securom with 5 machine activation limit.
retail Crysis 1, no activation limits.
retail Crysis Warhead, 5 installs, and a revoke tool was released for it.

Yeah I know what the store page states, but Valve are very well known for stating incorrect DRM information. For example, they list DRM for Far Cry 2, despite knowing that the Steam version had it patched out. They never listed DRM for Two Worlds, despite knowing their version has DRM. And so on. So, I never go by what the store page states.
I thought sure they removed the limits on Warhead, any many of the early SecuROM games.
Oh well.

They just created license revoke tools, to get your licenses back. Unfortunately, that doesn't do any good if you can't access the computer you installed it to, so I had to contact support.
