Question
« on: May 04, 2010, 01:31:42 am »
The AI War bundle is on sale on D2D for a week with a 67% discount.Before i buy,i would like to ask:
Can you activate your D2D cd key on Impulse? (because i know Steam accepting the CD key)

Hi there, and welcome to the forums.  Unfortunately, the Register Product thing on Impulse only works globally with Stardock products to my knowledge.  You may be able to Detect the application using the Impulse client to get it added to your list of applications there, but that wouldn't provide application updates through Impulse or anything of that sort, to my knowledge.

If you're unsure, I would try getting Impulse to recognize the demo of AI War to see if it will work from that angle -- as far as Impulse as concerned, there is no difference between and unregistered and registered third-party copy of AI War or TZR.  So if you can get it added in a way that is satisfactory to you, then you can go ahead and buy it with confidence wherever you want.  If not, then having a registration key from somewhere else won't make any difference as far as Impulse is concerned.

Wish I had better news.  :-\  I'll get up with the Stardock folks and ask them what's available at this stage with Impulse (with Steam, they had to literally import all our keys to make the Steam Key registration possible), and I'll post here with whatever news.  Might be a few days before I hear back, though, as it's a busy time of year at most development shops.

Sure thing!  I talked with Stardock just a bit ago, and they said that the Impulse client has always supported this, and it's just a matter of importing the other keys.  So I'll be getting those to them today, and this should then work fine sometime soon (whenever they have a chance to import them all, basically).

They have the keys, but I have not heard back yet. They have a ton going on as usual, I am sure.

Ah, very cool -- I did not know that they had an IRC channel over there.

I suspect they just haven't gotten to it yet -- I really don't have any control over that process, it's just a matter of when it fits into their workload.  Thanks for your patience!
