I have a question about license keys. I bought a game (Skyrim) and downloaded it to my laptop… Now I've got a new laptop and I want to play the game on my new one…
and the license key is required but it doesn't work because I've used it before.
Question; what should i do or can it be unlocked again?
And the license key is required but it doesn't work because I've used it before.
Of course, each key can only be redeemed once
Question; what should I do
log into the account on which you activated the game
or can you unlock it again?
of course not. A key becomes invalid after redemption
But I got it on CD and installed it like that
So what? A leaflet with a key was also included with the DVD version of Skyrim. If you bought it used, you will still have to buy a key
I bought the CD and the Alex key was right on it, but now I have the game on my old laptop but I want it on the new one
As I said: You redeemed the key (on Steam). Download Steam on the new device and log into the account.
First of all the basis:
Games for Steam (even if you bought them on CD / DVD) have to be "registered" when you install them for the first time.
You do that with the enclosed code.
The game is then linked to the Steam account with which you were logged in when you entered (registered) the code.
From then on you no longer need the CD / DVD, you can now download the entire game from Steam (instead of inserting the CD / DVD) if you want.
The entered code is also useless from now on because it has been redeemed, "used up" so to speak.
Solution:
On every computer on which you want to play your games, you simply have to log in to Steam with your Steam account.
You can then download and play all games that you have registered on this account on this PC.
So as I have always done I have installed steam on my new computer, then I gave my confirmation e May and then I just had to download the games.
