Ive just bought the NA edition, received a key. Went to activate it and i get presented with this "The key you specified could not be activated: key is unassigned" error.
Any suggestions what i might be doing wrong?

Yay, glad that worked as we couldn't seem to work out why you couldn't activate, stupid DNS! ;)

Actually im having similar problems. i also posted this on demo key questions:

i preordered the forced induction version of automation via this website with paypal (however it was with a different email address that has the paypal account... ) the other email address does not have an account on this website and i am trying to activate the demo key but it keeps saying: The key you specified could not be activated: key was not found. How do i get it to work so that i can download the demo?


Plz help!!!

i just got it to work as you can see by my turbocharged forum stats :D it was an error on my part of typing in the key, the keyboard i have is not typing certain letters in so i had to switch keyboards. but thank you for your help anyway and apologize for any inconvenience.

I may have a similar problem, the email i used for this forum is different to the paypal one I used to pre-order the game.

As I recall the engine demo was supposed to offer optional extras for pre-ordered customers I put my username info in on the launcher but it just seems to retain stock engine demo features.

Am I doing it wrong?


PS sorry for thread hijack.

There aren't any optional extras to be had yet, once we release the first extra content (V8s) you'll get those :)

User names are case sensitive, so that could be the problem?
