Steam – Activation using a product key:

Required Information:

  • Installed Steam client (downloadable from the official Steam website).
  • An active Steam account (logged into the client).
  • The product key for Steam (CD key) that you obtained after purchase.

Activation Steps:

  1. Copy your purchased Steam key from the platform where you obtained it (e.g., from an email or the retailer's website).
  2. Launch the Steam client and log in to your Steam account.
  3. Click the “ADD A GAME” button (bottom left in the client) and select “Activate a product on Steam.”
  4. When the Product Activation window appears, paste (Ctrl+V) your Steam key into the code field.
  5. Confirm the activation by clicking “Next,” then finish by clicking “OK.”
  6. That's it – your product is now activated. The game should appear in your Steam Library, and you can proceed to download/install it.

Important Notices:

  • Ensure that your key is not region-restricted. If it is tied to a specific country or currency, you must activate it on a Steam account that matches that region.
  • Each Steam key can only be used once – after activation, it is linked to your account and cannot be reused or transferred to another account.
