MGBoarder,
Bardus is correct. What you recieved is purely a order number, not a serial numer. This is only useful when talking to Stardock sales team.
So, the reason you can not see Beta 2 is because although you ordered it, you have not technically paid for it. Stardock does not charge you for the beta until the next phase starts. Since Stardock ordering database (think purchasing department) and impulse accout registration do not interact, it is impossible for them to show your pre-release beta until you phase starts. Thus you have an order number, not a serial number. Simple and complicated. Unfortunately also very annoying and why I have complained to stardock about this very problem. Please add to another thread of mine about this problem here.
As soon as beta 2 starts, your credit card will be charged in the order recieved by stardock, and then when you login to impulse again or click the "check for updates" under the blue orb, demigod will be listed and your serial number will be auto imported. To keep track of where they are in credit cards and progress of downloads and people's thoughts, log into demigod irc. Tons of people will be there on release day. Then you can click the icon and tell it to install. Then wit for a fast download and presto chango, you can play with the rest of us. Look forward to playing with you soon.
