Character limit for Linux license key exludes one character

asmodeos · 03-18-2016, 05:59 PM

I cannot enter the license key in the activation dialog. The final character is not permitted, the field has a character limit.

OOTP17-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

The final character cannot be entered. License does not activate.

Manjaro Linux.

The Linux license is different from the WIndows/Mac license; it is of the form XXXX-XX-X-XXX-XXXX
Did you purchase your license from esellerate, or PSID? if you purchased from esellerate, you will need to get a different license.

Hope this helps.

Ah, interesting. I purchased through eseller.

I would imagine the Steam key will circumvent this restriction. Once added to my library, I should be able to install to whatever platform.

Hopefully! I spend a lot of time in Linux, and prefer to have the PC that I run OOTP on booted into Linux than Windows.

Yes, that should be the case -- at least it is for me
