When I doo this I see where the backup file for GalCiv 2 is located, but when I try this with Dark Avatar and Twilight of the Arnor both want Gal Civ II installed before allowing the download/archive. None of the programs are installed on the PC I wish to download from. In fact these programs cannot be installed on this machine.
Isn't there a way to get a plain .exe (like the demos) that I can install and then enter in my keys?
Please contact support@stardock.com about this.
Strange, it should only do that if you're actually installing. If you are not permitted to actually install the game on that machine so that the download will be allowed, please contact support@stardock.com to see if they can suggest other options.
Hello,
my problem is, that I´d lost my manual where the key is printed.
I registered my game here already and want to play it again with updates.
I have the original one (without Add Ons).
How I can see or get my serial on this site?
If I´m clicking on the "Account" button (where I hope to find the key) there´s messaged an "Compilation Error".
Is there any chance to get it?
Edit: Ok, I solved the problem. I was going to "Purchase" and there is an option, where I can request for the serials of my registered games - great!
yes hi i recently bought the bundle pack via download. and i had to restore my computer after i bought it, and when i try to download it it says my serial number is not vaild...so i emailed stardock and they sent me an activiation code which said [no serial number needed] so when i try to register it it says impluse only accepts valid stardock serial numbers..so if anyone can help me some with this situation. and i konw its probably been asked like 10 times but im to lazy to look through like 200 websites.

Sounds like you just used the serial recovery form? If so, contact support@stardock.com directly and they'll sort it out.
If I buy Gal Civ 2 retail version, will I be able to download and run the expansions packs ok from impulse?
I ask this only because I have had problems getting download only expansions to work if I have the retail version of the game, I have Vista 32 bit.
I can also get Gal Civ 2 for dirt cheap here so it's cheaper than buying the ultimate pack, plus I want to try before I buy so is there a demo?
The retail and download versions are the same, so you will have no issue. Just make sure that wherever you're getting it dirt cheap from that it is a legitimate, new copy and not a bootleg or used copy (those are common on ebay and such).
We don't have a demo of the latest expansion, but there is one including the base game and first expansion available from the downloads page on this site.
Its a national retailler and it's new so I'm fairly certain it's legitimate. I'm downloading the demo now, thanks.

i, would like to add a 7th possibility, as i recently bought a new store copy 0f
GC2-DL. earerly, i went home and installed the game on my orffline pc. It installed
and ran fine. Long-story-short, in the 4 or 5 times i attempted to register i promptly
recieved error 3 messages. Several e-mails with stardock support, i was still
\no closer to a resolution. Enter artical id. 200. there were also, 35 character with
hyphens serial numbers issued with the wrong fonts. check for '0' vs. 'o' as well as
'1' vs. 'i'. virtually identical. anyway i am registered now. thanks
My Galactic Civilizations 2 Ultimate Edition will not let me set up metaverse. I do have a old metaverse account for Galciv 2 Dread Lords. I registered my Galactic Civilizations 2 Ultimate Edition on Impulse but will not work on the game. Thanks.
Do you mean you cannot create a metaverse character with it, or that you can't log into the meta in-game (or something else)? If the latter, the metaverse was down for the past week or so but should be back online as of yesterday morning.
it would not let me log in but it works now, thanks
I've had this old Gold Edition GalCiv2 for awhile and decided today to get back into it. I reinstalled via the CD's (to get the custom module components) then patched up and installed Twilight of the Arnor to get it completely up to date. All reg codes were still there on my Stardock and Impulse accounts. All read correct. All installs show registered properly. I can launch into Metaverse with Dreadlords and Twilight, but not with Dark Avatar. That one says I need to register my serial number (which is the same as the Dreadlords serial because of the Gold Edition install).
I used to play Metaverse under Dark Avatar with this serial all the time, but now it won't let me.
Any thoughts?
I am unable to update my version of GalCiv II (1.0), bought the game ages ago and registered it ok, but then didn't play it for a while. I try to update with the same serial code now (it let me install it ok) and it says its invalid. What gives? To elaborate, though the code worked when i first purchased and installed the game back in 2006/2007, it now says its invalid.
You can only register once--rather than registering again, you need to log into Impulse using the account that you initially registered the game to. If you don't remember the account details fully, support@stardock.com can help you locate and recover it.
Ah, i registered it on a different email account, the stardock.com/support site had the help i need. One quickie, is impulse the replacement for the older stardock.net account?
