Offline Update

from GalCiv2 Forums
I have recently bought Gal Civ2 from "Game" and have downloaded the update at work as I do not have an internet connection at home. How do I update my game it is asking for my email address and activation code, but obviously i can not connect to the server at home. I realise I need a .sig file but am not sure how to get it. Please can someone help.

Activating on a non-connected PC
To activate the game on a computer that is not connected, follow these steps:

1) Start the game; you will get a prompt for your serial and email. Provide them and continue.
2) It will fail to activate (of course) and ask if you'd like to activate by email. Click Yes.
3) Copy the subject line and big block of letters into a text file, or into your email program, and save it off to portable media (CDR, USB drive, floppy, etc).
4) Take it to a web-connected PC and send an email to [email protected] with that subject line and content.
5) You should receive a reply with a file and some instructions; take the file back to the non-connected PC and you should be set to go.
