Important info: eSellerate closes down on June 30.
 

Hey guys,

there's some news regarding one of our webshops which we have used for many years, eSellerate. This shop system belongs to Digital River and they have decided to shut it down on June 30, so we will no longer be selling the non-steam version of the game via eSellerate but rather via Fastspring, which has been our trusted partner for Perfect Team sales. The DRM (copy protection) will be handled via Quick License Manager (QLM) of the company Soraco.

If you have bought a version via eSellerate in the past, don't worry, it will NOT stop working! eSellerate will continue to operate the license/unlicense servers for the forseeable future, so you will be able to play the game(s) and move them from one computer to a different one using the unlicense & license procedure from the game settings dialog as usual. The only thing changing is that you will not be able to buy our games from eSellerate anymore starting June 30, but rather via the new show system which will operate in a pretty similar manner.

If you have questions, let us know! :)

Cheers,
Markus

I just tried making a purchase and get an error message after clicking on confirm purchase. Tried 4 or 5 times using different payment options. Any suggestions?

Were you able to get it to work? I see a couple of orders from Mikes/Michaels last night, but I'm not sure if any of them are you. But it seems to be working from here now, and there have been other orders completing this morning, so it may have been a temporary problem on their end.

Thanks for your response. Yes, it is working now.

With the company closing down there's a reasonable chance that they WILL shut down the servers at some future date. Is there a contingency plan in place that will allow us to continue installing/uninstalling the software if that happens? Will currently installed versions still function normally if those servers disappear one day? Thanks.

How about GOG for the DRM-free version?
