Changing Email on Stardock Safe and Complete?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'd like to change the email address I've used to register my Stardock games and to access this forum. I see I can do this here by going to My Account | Stardock Account | Logon Info. Does changing the address here change it in all Stardock locations (i.e. in Stardock Central, Stardock sales, Metaverse, etc)? Is there anything I need to watch out for in doing this?

It will change your SDC account and everything it's used for (it's all the same account). It will not, however, change any saved settings you made at the online store. That site uses a separate user list for security, so you'd need to re-enter your info there when next you use it.

And concerning registred serial ids?

Serials are registered to your account. It's still the same account if you change your email address, so it should all work seamlessly.

Based on the info here, I changed my email address. Everything looks good. When I changed my email address under My Account, it sent an email off to the new email address. I had to click on a link in that to finalize the change. The email also has a little blurb in it saying:

"If you are using the same email address for your Stardock.net Account as you have used to purchase Stardock products then there is a good chance that when you change your email that you will also be changing your Registered email address. This is ok. Just remember that when you look up product updates that you may need to use this new email."

By that, I assumed they're talking about Stardock Central. When I started that up, it told me my email address wasn't correct. I went to Tools | Edit Stardock.net Account and changed the email address there and connected fine.

For the forum, I just logged in with the new email address and all was well. In both the forum and Stardock Central, all my registered games appear to be present. We'll see what happens when Twilight of the Arnor is released (I've pre-ordered it).

Since you ordered that with the old address, you may need to do an account merge with support once it comes out. But that's the only potential problem I can forsee.
