I just downloaded Sins and am trying to create my Ironclad Online account. It's asking for my CD Key.

I pre-ordered using Stardock Central. The serial number that I have doesn't work. So, where is the CD Key?

Hi McGlu,

* Previous accounts on the ICO Server will need to be recreated as all Beta accounts have been cleared.

* When logging on to the updates page on the website please use your Stardock.net account.  Not your ICO Server account.  The ICO Server account is separate.

* If you are having difficulties with either the website or ICO server accepting your serial number please email pford@stardock.com and provide with details of your account

The problem is being looked into.

people are getting them now.

There are several thousand pre orders, they can't be charged and processed all at once for simple logistic reasons. When you get your key; anywhere from right now to about 2 hours later, going on what frogboy said in his happy launch day topic

The People that preordered over a few weeks ago, (I think before or around Beta 4 begin) already got their CD Serials/Keys for the beta. Those that have only preordered recently don't have Key's yet, you just need to wait for them to email them, they are processing them all now I think, at most you will have to wait a few hours. (I think they said it should all be done by 8PM EST).

I already Have Stardock central, but when i get the CD key, how to get to the screen to download the game?

You'll be ok Sleeper.  Click on the Games tab at the top left.  The game should show up on the right side.

It should automatically register when you're charged, so you just pick Sins under the games section and install it--if it does not:

Go to the Tools menu in SDC, and choose Register Products.

Pick Games on the left in the Register Products window, then find Sins in the Product pull-down menu. Enter your email address and serial number, then click Register.

Back at the main screen of SDC, pick Games on the left. You should see Sins under a Purchased Products heading on the right side. Select it and click the Install button that appears.

Sorry, a little confused - too many cross threads now.

I pre-ordered a few months ago to get into Beta 4 via TotalGaming.Net tokens. I have downloaded the final game just fine and am able to play single player. So, will I be getting a new CD Key for ICO?

Thanks! Great to have Support like this for a game!

Please be sure to include dashes when entering your CD keys
