EA has released a De-Authorisation Management Tool for PC gamers who own one of their many SecuROM managed games, such as Mass Effect and Dead Space.

The tool will allow gamers to de-authorise an install and then take the freed software installation and use it elsewhere (another PC or a fresh install). This should significantly reduce the hassle associated with EA’s SecuROM titles.

Games supported by the tool:

– Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box

– Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3

– Crysis Warhead

– Dead Space

– FIFA Manager 09

– FIFA Soccer 09

– Littlest Pet Shop

– The Lord of the Rings: Conquest

– Mass Effect

– Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

– Mirror’s Edge

– MySims

– Need for Speed: Undercover

– NHL 09

– Spore

– Spore Creature Creator

– The Sims 2: Apartment Life

– The Sims 2 IKEA Home Stuff

– The Sims 2 Mansion & Garden Stuff

Last week The Sims series executive producer Rod Humble revealed that The Sims 3 will be released DRM free. Instead the game will feature disc-based copy protection and a serial key.
