Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Key: If you receive an “Invalid Product Key” message, ensure that you have entered the code correctly. Double-check for any typos or missing characters.
  • Region Restrictions: Some game keys are region-locked and can only be activated in certain regions. Make sure your key is valid for your region.
  • Already Activated: If the key has already been used, it cannot be activated again.
