Activation Code FUBAR

[Maleficus]

So my nice shiny boxed copy of CK2 arrived, and I've gone to register it on these here forums so I can get one of those nice special avatars, but the activation code on the back of my manual is XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX while the site here seems to want one that XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX so obviously it won't work. What gives?

Where did you order it from?

Just fill in the letters from left to right in order. Don't worry about the dashes. And fill in the rest with Xs.

e.g. AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCC would go in as AAAA-ABBB-BBCC-CCXX-XXXX-XXXX

edit-typo

It's surprising that there would be only 14 characters in the code though, I thought they were all more than that?

They had it going for £17.95 at one point, so I can buy the 2 DLCs and still have paid several pounds less than if I'd got it from GG

Great, thanks, it's registered now

Yeah, I would've expected PI to make their codes the right length for their site to be honest. Still don't have WFaS registered because of it...
