serge, I believe Paradox are still on their Christmas Holidays and will be dealing with this issue on their return... hopefully. Lots of us have issues like yours, although I think personally, that Steam have seriously misled you if you've bought all those games .. and no CD key... You'd expect them to say that upfront .. before you pay over your money.
Is there an update for this situation? Various games of my Paradox pack are still missing their CD keys.
At least in case of HoI2 its Paradox fault - I have HoI2 from Steam for over 1 year and when I contacted Paradox support about missing CD key I was told, that they never provided CD keys to Valve (owner of Steam) - and that this situation wont change.
I'm beginning to think that there is a legal case brewing here... in the sense that :
I buy a product, be it on Steam or Stardock or Gamersgate, it doesn't matter. I'm entitled to have a Full Product, meaning all the serial keys I will need. It is not right that my product is different depending on where I bought it. A Product is a product 100%, or is someone selling "less than 100% product"?
And as for Current Games versus Classic Games... Surely a Current Game is a game that is currently for sale? And if a game is currently for sale, then the buyer must be sold a 100% product game, and not some kind of diminished product?
I have bought quite a lot of Paradox games over Christmas and I'm still waiting on keys, that's for Current and Classic games, but I'm expecting to receive the keys I need. ...

as far as i know hoi2 has no keys for this forum. or has anybody ever seen an hoi2 icon?
I'm not talking about HOI2, I'm talking about Paradox games in general, for which there are numerous posts complaining about missing or non-existent keys.
Personally, I'm searching for a Warband key and Gallactic Assault key (I think?). One game is Current and the other Classic.
Seems they solved the problem, at least for M&B Warband. I just successfully registered with my steam key that was not working during the holidays 
There aren't any for HoI2, there are for Anthology and for Armageddon though.
I have now imported Warband and shipsim keys. If you have 5x5, like this: aaaa-bbbbb-ccccc-ddddd-eeeee you enter them in our system like this: aaaa-abbb-bbcc-cccd-dddd-eeee, so you just skip the last character.
I know the my games page is really bad and we are planning for a makeover, but until then it needs to work like this.
As for the games lacking keys, we are trying to solve that, but things are moving oh so very slow. All the games where keys might be missing have totally open forums though, so you will not miss out on any content beside the actual medal under your avatar.
Yes, but we love our shiny icons
Thanks for helping us, Kallocain... it's really nice having someone as friendly and helpful around

Apparently all codes from Steam should be working. It is the steam code you are using? And you have installed the game first and then fetched the other key from inside Steam?
Anyway, issues with keys (among other things) are now to be reported here: http://paradox.zendesk.com/

I also have the same situation going on and it sucks!
I sent an email to this forum admin as well as CS and received no response. It has been a couple weeks now.
I also filed a ticked with Steam. The response was pure bullcrap!
My ticket posts:
I purchased the package to support you guys (I already own many of the tiles listed) and have no intention of ever playing the others and even purchased a few on GG which I have never played to also support you guys. So, now, here I sit with a big huge case of cognitive dissonance.

Steam of course closed the ticket. Now what?

I signed up last night. Nonetheless it still would have been nice to get a response to my email to be perfectly frank.
Which exact e-mail did you use? There are a few different ones, some of which have autoresponders referring you forward and some which have not. (But are read instead.)
I got C:CotA, and the key on the manual has one digit too many for the registry field. It won't let me just leave the last digit out. any ideas?
