Will activating cd keys count as buying a game?

[ Feeder Castro]

hi i live in iran so i can't buy anything directly from steam...
can i unlimit my account by activating product keys ?

and if answer is yes that must be just one game worth 5$ or it can be games ?

No it does not count.
Only spending money directly on Steam, either by charging your Steam Wallet or buying a game on the store can unlimit a account.

No it will not, you must somehow give Valve $5 USD.

The easiest way is to get a physical wallet card and redeem it. Digital gift cards do not count.

Keys were purchased from a different site so they cannot be used since the money doesn't go to steam

Just buy a online code for Steam Wallet. Many stores that sell keys also sell Steam Wallet credit.
That counts if you charge your Steam account with it.
