Using serial # to DL game

from Stardock Forums
Hey all, just bought the game, but dont have the CD. I've been told there is a place I can input my serial number to re-download the game. Anyone know where that is? Thanks.

You need to install Stardock Central, and it will prompt you for your serial and you can download from there.

http://storage.stardock.com/files/stardockcentral20.exe

Once you have that installed, click the 'Tools' at the top and select 'Register Products'. Then, choose Galactic Civilizations' and enter your serial. Once that is done you will be able to download it from the menu on the main screen.

Err...I was SO close..

I got to the point where I could input my serial, and did so. But after I hit the conintue but, it said 'Windows encountered an error, and my close.'

Also, it gave me and option and I didnt know what to click..the default for it was 'OBject desktop'. What is that?
Galactic Civilizations IV

That is a program the Stardock also produces, and to tell you the truth I don't know much about it. I just picked up the TGN.net account, so I may check it out. I believe it provides differnet skins for Windows.

If you see "Object Desktop" you need to click on "games". Under "product" scroll down til you find the game you bought, then enter serial number, etc.

I downloaded it alright, but all that pops up is a bix white empty box with the title of StarDock Central in the upper right. No place to click 'tool's or anything like that...

sigh

It has basegolf, stellar frontier, the corp, etc.

It should be there...

Sorry to ask this, but are you sure it isn't there? Even if you don't have TG.net, they should all be there regardless... :notsure:

heh, I know...I MUST be blind, right? How could it simply not be there?

Well, it's true, it's just not there. Should I re-boot it or something? Is there a search component on there?

on the main screen, on the left, click the 'games' and see if galciv show up in that list. if you have the dowanload option, it may already be in there.

Hey, I was right..all I had to do was re-boot. I hate computers...I really do..

Thanks for all your help guys. I was easing up past 'frustrated' and cruising into 'balistic'...

..crisis averted. lol

Thanks again.

:) Every now and then I wonder why I didn't go into a more stereotypical female occupation like nursing.  And then I remembered that I hate the sight of blood.

Cari we are VERY happy you didn't go into something like nursing....

I faint at the sight of segmentation faults...should I go into nursing? ;)

I'm very glad that I didn't go into nursing also. :) 

Kevin, I think that you're made of stronger stuff than that. :)
