#REDIRECT [[Games for Windows - LIVE#List of games using Games for Windows - LIVE]]
{{ii}} List of games that feature [[Games for Windows - LIVE]] integration; some games have LIVE removed from certain versions (see [[#Games for Windows - LIVE removed|Games for Windows - LIVE removed]]).
 
{{ii}} For a list of Steam games that use Games for Windows - LIVE, see [[The Big List of 3rd Party DRM on Steam#Games for Windows Live|The Big List of 3rd Party DRM on Steam]].
 
{{--}} Players outside the [http://www.xbox.com/LIVE/countries Xbox LIVE Countries and Regions] must use a [[Games for Windows - LIVE#Creating a local profile|local profile]]. Local profile support is listed beside the game when known.
 
 
 
==Activation details==
 
{{ii}} There are two kinds of GFWL activation, [[#Server-Side Activation (SSA) titles|Server-Side Activation (SSA)]] and [[#Legacy (Per-Title 5x5) titles|Legacy (Per-Title 5x5)]].
 
{{ii}} Both Server-Side Activation (SSA) and Legacy (Per-Title 5x5) titles can also utilize [[#Zero Day Piracy Protection (ZDPP)|Zero Day Piracy Protection (ZDPP)]] to prevent access to games before the release date. Protected titles are marked as such.
 
 
 
===Server-Side Activation (SSA) titles===
 
{{ii}} Server-Side Activation (SSA) include a unique product key with the game. The key is permanently bound to the Microsoft account, similar to Steam. These games have no activation limits.
 
{{ii}} If an SSA product key is bound to an account that is not in a supported region the key will be lost (and, consequently, access to the game).
 
{{ii}} Any game with Module Authentication (MA) disables the possibility of creating a local profile to play.
 
{{ii}} This section is automated; refer to the individual game pages to add or update entries.

==Zero Day Piracy Protection (ZDPP)==
 
{{ii}} Both Server-Side Activation (SSA) and Legacy (Per-Title 5x5) titles can utilize this additional protection.
 
 
 
'''Zero Day Piracy Protection (ZDPP)''' is an additional DRM check used to prevent access to the game in retail copies before the release date. It relies on an online service to decrypt encrypted critical game files stored on the retail disc, and when the user tries to launch the game the '''Zero Day Piracy Protection Tool''' is launched instead. This tool connects and transmits the ID of the protected game to Microsoft's online ZDP service hosted at https://zdp.gamesforwindows.com/Zdp/Zdp.svc/. The online service looks up the release date for the requested game ID and validates if the date have passed. If so the service will respond with the decryption codes for the protected files which the local tool will use to decrypt the encrypted files, allowing the game to be played.
