I got a new computer and tried to install PC. However, it's asking for a key. How do I deal with this?

Thanks!

Panzer Corps Gold. I tried to insyall it off the files I saved when I purchased it. Now, it asks for a Key to install. Had to DL all or the files individually and set up the game, but it would be nice to only have to deal with 1 file instead of 7 or 8 files.

None of the games sold on GOG have keys. Not sure what you have there.

I bought it here. I purchased the game and most of the DLCs from Slitherine. When it came to gog, I bought it again because it was the "Gold" version and on gog, no keys. I wanted to avoid the game keys for each DLC when I reinstall them. But, now the thing ask me for a key. and I think there was a work around back when gog first got it. I purchased it on gog. Sept 13, 2021.

I installed it for the first time few days ago.

It never asked for any key.

Perhaps your Windows installation still had info from the previous installation and it messed everything up.

Try to uninstall them all, delete them and perhaps even do a registry cleaning of the game if they are still there after uninstalling it. Then try to reinstall the GOG version.

Thank you. PC Gold was one download for the game and all the DLCs. It could have been one install for all, I don't recall. Is that what you are talking about? Right now, in my library is the game and all the DLCs which you have to download individually,

I don't know what's going on man.
What I suggest is what I said. Uninstall everything game related. Delete all files after you uninstall the game and dlcs. Do a search on how to delete registry keys that might have stayed back from the previous installations of the game. Reboot the computer. Install the GOG version. I wish you good luck.

Thanks, It is a brand new computer. Installed July 7. There are no previous flies. Like I said. I believe this issue came up when GoG first got the game and there was a work around for it. Then again, maybe I'm a mental case and this isn't reality at all.

I don't know. As I said I downloaded and installed the game from GOG for the first time just a few days ago and I had zero issues.

Contact support.

GOG support leaves a lot to be desired. Had an issue go over 4 months and numerous requests. It's why I came here, and am sorry for it.
