AI War CoN activation

[mark7320]

I purchased the original game and Zenith through Impulse.  I purchased CoN directly from Arcen.  The activation/license key does not work.  I take it that Impulse has locked me out of updating my copy except through them.  Can you give some thoughts on this?  Any way to salvage this?

Welcome to the forums

Impulse isn't blocking you from anything, I assure you; the code just isn't there.

Can you go into the game, open the license key window, and type in your key, and hit save?

Type in your key in the CoN license key box, that is.

Or is it simply not listed?

Assuming you're still using version 3.189 or earlier, you can get the full installer for 4.0 here:

Impulse is going through final QA testing on the new 4.0 release, and will have the update downloading for you sometime soon (today), by the way.  Then all will be well, even without a separate installer.

OK.  Thanks for the quick response.  When I downloaded from Impulse the default folder was Program Files\Indie Games\AI War.  I copied the whole folder into a new folder called Program files\AI War and aimed the CoN at that and it worked.  BTW I had changed the target on the installer to default location as per Impulse but it apparently didn't like that.  I browsed and found the default loction, but as I said it didn't like it.  So,  my version is now 3.189, I can update to 4.0 through Impulse?  But won't it look for the files to update in the old location?  Will it let me browse to the new location?  Will it like it even if it does?  I have put additional sound tracks in the music folders.  Before with Zenith I just put them into the Ingame folder and I could listen to them while playing the game.  Which folder should they be in to listen with CoN?

Thanks.

3.189 doesn't directly upgrade to 4.0 since they're basically different applications, but Impulse should be doing updates-to-4.0 later today, I believe, and it will handle the whole new-app thing without you needing to know about it.  They just have to do the usual due-diligence QA passes, etc.
