If you're logged in on SDC, entered the serial and your email address in the registration window reply#1 mentioned, and clicked Register, and you recieved an error, post the exact text of the error so we can advise you.

If it is a second hand copy, with an already registred serial id, I fear that you won't be able to register your game.

If you have read the EULA, you will know that the serial Id can't be sold to another user.

Ya, buying used games now-a-days is risky business. Between registrations and limited installs, the odds are not good.

the guy was a power seller with like 38k sells and 98.5% positive who said it was open box...shouldn't have been used. but whatever, I'm prolly going to best buy to get it today.. is that probably the easiest way to do it? yeah, phoenix, I know it can't. my only problem is that he said it was "New Condition!" so I figured that meant the serial number too. bahaha. thanks for the help guys, if any of you actually play, then add me in a few days and we can get some games in.

I've seen a number of people with similar ratings who were getting them by selling dirt cheap bootleg copies. Since ebay rarely if ever does anything about them, and most games have the patches freely available, the buyers never figure out that they've been shafted. Particularly those that claim to be 'foreign edition, but plays in english'... that's basically a euphemism for 'this is a bootleg copy with a fake serial that won't work'.

When I wanted to register my boxed copy, I hit the "Download Updates" button in the game, which brought me to this site. Type the key in, and it registered. You don't have to use Stardock Central.

Though if you did get ripped off, that really sucks.

kryo- you have a really good point...probably waht happened with me

tridus- yeah, it's too bad, but the thing is, my dad and I were planning on playing it on the lan, and he won't be playing online, defeating the purpose for the serial number, so tomorrow I'm gonna grab one from best buy, and I'll just use that serial number.
