Two serials?

Published on February 20, 2006 By BlueDev In Galactic Civilizations II

So, I finally purchased Gal Civ II today (direct download version), received my receipt, opened SDC which automatically logged into my Stardock account and loaded my GCII serial for me (that was nice). I was able to preload the main game files, but had problems getting the tutorials, movies and media to download. A reinstall of SDC has fixed that so far (tuts downloading at ~340 KB/sec). But I also looked up my serial numbers and received that email. As I am a pretty loyal Stardock customer, there were lots of serials in there. Down at the bottom was the serial for GCII, which interestingly enough was different than the one in my original receipt.

I have registered in SDC with the one from the receipt, and have been able to download, but thought it was odd that there were two different serial numbers. Any ideas Stardock super dudes?

Ok i could be 100% wrong but are you sure your not getting your Order Number and Serial Number confused?

I have several of them now from problems when trying to establish a metaverse character and was asking for emails.

That's a good thought, but yes, I am sure they are not Order numbers. One email has one Serial Number, the other has a different one. I can plug them both into SDC and register as well.

Obviously, this isn't a problem for me at all, but I just thought I would let Stardock know in case it would cause a problem for them.

Had the same thing two near identical emails, one serial worked the other didn't.

Yep, same thing here. One in the order confirmation, another one in lookup mail.

Booth seem to work when registering. But when i trie to create an character in the metaverse, it says the serialnumber has not been activated. Missed i something here?

I have exactly the same problem.

No matter which serial i use in the metaverse it always says its the wrong one or hasn't beeing activated.

I just wanna add that my serial doesn't work for Metaverse character creation either, but I think that's because mine is a temporary serial # to be used until I get my copy of the game in the mail. Since I'm in Royal Oak, MI (near enough to Plymouth) I expect that not to take very long.

Same problem here. Neither serial will work.
