Product Activation Code For Skyrim Steam

Turns out it is just published by GFWL, but Bethesda refused to use their shitty service, so it is steam works. So everyone wins! Thank goodness. I'm new to Windows 7 and the Games for Windows Live service and it's been a fucking headache for me so far. And all I wanted to do was play Bioshock 2! I won't go into the details unless anyone wants them, but because of GFWL I got the dreaded Win 7 'bootmgr is missing' error and then Bioshock 2 had a problem locating its save files. Both problems are fixed now, but if I can help it I won't purchase any games that use that service.

Anyway, because of that Skyrim's box art almost gave me a heart attack!

Click to expand.I stand corrected?? I'm confused. Unless I'm reading it incorrectly (which is quite possible), nowhere in the link does it say that you can download a game through Steam that you purchase elsewhere. I purchased the hard disc version of Borderlands (Best Buy) when it came out.

Registered it to my Steam account. Two years later Steam ran a special on the Official DLC (Moxi's Underdome, etc). When I tried to purchase the DLC through Steam, it refused, saying I needed the Borderlands base game installed. IT WAS INSTALLED, I just hadn't purchased it through Steam. I created a thread on The Steam Forums which resulted in almost two pages of people telling me I had to purchase the base game through Steam for Steam to recognize it and to then be able to purchase the additional DLC through Steam.

Fortunately the GOTY version was also on sale super cheap so I ended up purchasing and downloading the entire GOTY version (repurchasing the base game). I took this to mean that while you registered and managed (patched, etc) SteamWorks games through Steam, you could not actually download a game unless directly purchased through Steam. That licensing the game to your account served as proof of purchase to prevent piracy and activate your game to play. I guess if I'm incorrect with my first post (above), then why didn't Steam recognize my Borderlands base game being installed? Would love clarification here (sure the OP would too). Another thought: (Thought this doesn't explain the issue I had with Borderlands).

Let's say you purchase a hard disc version of a Steam Powered game. You put it into your PC's DVD drive. Passcape Crack Version.

You enter the key-code. You install the game (from the disc).

Fast forward a couple months and for whatever reason you have to reinstall the game. Unfortunately your crazy-ass older sister-in-law has tried to use your hard disc copy of the game as a diaphragm. I'm pretty sure you can simply download and reinstall the game through Steam, no problem. But to get to the point of being able to do that, on the initial install, wouldn't you have to have at least put the hard disc in a dvd drive (that could read it) to verify the keycode matched the disc itself? Is that not how it works? Thanks to everyone for your input!

Similar to Kristoffer's case, want the assurance of being able to fully download and play the game without the need of the disc. Is there anybody who can confirm this for sure? I've read on several forums about some people having a glitch wherein once they activate their retail disc version of Skyrim on Steam, Steam somehow bypasses or doesn't detect the physical disc and then proceeds to download the game from the internet. If this is happening I assume that means that it IS possible to download and run the game without the disc. But again, anybody out there who can confirm? Theleb_Kaarna: That's interesting, considering the fact that Borderlands is compatible to be registered on Steam.

I'm not sure though if your predicament was isolated to only that specific game or if it was something else. Click to expand.I stand corrected?? I'm confused.
