Serial Isn't Working

from Sins Forums

Hi there, I just tried registering my copy of SoaSE (no expansion) today. Unfortunately when I tried registering the code on my manual with Impulse it wouldn't work; any suggestions or is my key already used/broken?

Include the dashes, and make sure you typed it out right.

I tried re-entering it with the dashes and checked the number about a dozen times but with no luck.

I just checked the generic serial key example and it shows it as...

ABCDE-1AB23-166E3-2EDC0-DAB24-FA243

which roughly translates to this (N=number and L=letter)...

LLLLL-NLLNN-NNNLN-NLLLN-LLLNN-LLNNN

while my number is

LNLLL-LNNLN-NNNNN-LLNNL-LNNNN-NNLLL

Am I missing something or is the generic example wrong/not displaying where numbers/letters actually fit?

I believe that they use the Hexadecimal system, effectively making the letters numbers, so it shouldn't make a difference if a character is a letter or number as long as it's one of the 16 characters in this numeral system.

Please contact [email protected] about this, they should be able to get things sorted.
