Key Questions
- What is a key? The cd key is the serial number or product code which is a combination of letters and numbers that activates a product, normally found on a sticker inside the game's case or printed on the game's quick reference card. The purchased CD Key is used to register and activate the relevant game. Depending on the product, we provide this in the form of a scan of the code or the actual code in text format.
- How quickly will I receive the key? Our unique and self-developed CD key delivery system, allows for instant and automatic allocation of CD keys. Once the customer makes payment and passes the fraud checks the CD key will be made available on their edgeboundgames.com account and will be emailed to the relevant email address, this enables our customers to experience fast and efficient self-service - whenever they want.
