SERIAL CODE PROBLEM

[neogeoxsnk]

just bought a game code put it in then the verification server died on me when the code was being validated. Now the code wont work at all please help :(

So the game not in your library? What does the error message say?

This might be an issue support will have to look at if the game is existing in some kinda "in-between" state. Even saying that, it doesn't seem likely.

said steam servers were offline.....looked at the product page and it was not in my library :(

So you bought it elsewhere and not on steam?

[Kargor]

First, check the license list on your account: https://store.steampowered.com/account/licenses/

Also, what does it say when you are trying to redeem the code?

I don't believe Steam made the horrible mistake to not make the redemption an atomic transaction. So, if the system tells you that the code has been used before, I'm inclined to ask where you bought the key. If it's one of the wordfiltered sites, it's actually much more likely that they simply gave you a used code...

You can't buy keys on Steam.

Yeah, you need to ask them about that key and why Steam's having problems with it.

Have you tried it again recently, it's maintenance day so servers going down and things messing up is very common on tuesdays.

What game is it you are trying to activate?

You have a vac ban on your account and some games may not be available to you due to being blocked by the ban.

What games can I play if I have been VAC banned?

VAC banned accounts can still play single-player games, local LAN games, and multiplayer on non VAC-secured game servers. To find non VAC-secured servers, from the Steam main menu click on View, select Servers, then select Not secure in the Anti-cheat dropdown.

Cheating in one of the following Source games or a Source mod will result in a VAC ban for all games in the list below:
◾Counter-Strike: Source
◾Half-Life 2: Deathmatch
◾Day of Defeat: Source
◾Team Fortress 2

Similarly, cheating in one of the following Gold Source games will result in a VAC ban for all games in the list below:
◾Counter-Strike
◾Condition Zero
◾Ricochet
◾Day of Defeat
◾Team Fortress Classic
◾Half-Life: Deathmatch
◾Deathmatch Classic

Code say not valid?

Are you sure this is not a code for Origin? Go check where you got the key from, and see what store does it say it is for.

Yup, Codes for Need for Speed Shift activate on Origin, not on Steam.
