annoying offline updater

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

 

Downloaded war of magic and fallen enchantress before i lost my internet connection. Didn't register now stuck with some impossible half-cooked offline process. File in 'punishing the paying customer cause someone somewhere might steal the game?' Think I'll ever get it installed or should I give up now? What am I supposed to do with activation file that hardlinks to somewhere on the offline computer??? <very confused> ..........................

 

Sincerely, Paying customer

Ok.... this video kinda explains it (I think)\

The 'activate.stardock.com' which doesn't seem to return any file at all for some reason on this library computer. The 'legacy site'  seems to work:

I have the *.bin files now and hopefully can get this pos to work. Will try support@stardock if this doesn't work. Still very ridiculous process, shame shame....

The above worked for me. I highly suggest Stardock do something with google search or similar since there were very few links when I googled 'offline installer' 'fallen enchantress' stardock and similar.
