Is there a way to register w/o the box?

February 25, 2010 4:06:25 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I purchased Sins 1.00 about two years ago (it was before the Game of the Year edition, at any rate). The original packaging is long gone, and I only have the manual and disc left. I even lost the manual for a month before finding it again.

So I went and purchased Entrenchment... without registering first. That was an incredibly stupid thing to do; I realize this.

My problem: is there any way to go about registering my copy of Sins so that I can actually play Entrenchment?

You'd need the serial key to do this.  It's on a sticker on the inside of the box.  Unless you saved that sticker, you're out of luck.

 

That said, I'm surprised Impulse would let you purchase Entrenchment without a valid copy of the vanilla game attached to your account...

Oh, it let me purchase it. But I can't use it.

Check the back of the manual. More often than not the serial is placed there. If it is there, sign into Impulse and click the 'My Games' tab. Click 'Register Product' in the upper right and enter your info.

I still have my manual and box, and I can confirm that the serial key is not in the manual, but is on a sticker in the box.

I'm seeing the base game registered to your account.  Did you find your serial number?
