Account/serials question.

[DUSTY]

Here's my situation:

 

I bought two copies of the A-10C beta back in 2010, one for me and one for a friend who had no money at the time.

 

I purchased a 2nd copy on my account and sent him the serial key. The problem is that it appears by doing this he cannot access the free Nevada associated with that serial number when he is logged into his account. This is presumably because it was purchased while logged into my account and the serials are tied to the account?

 

Is there something I'm missing/is there a way to rectify this?

 

Cheers

Wow, disregard! Just found this link: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=116362

 

I am amazed at how I can open multiple tabs and then completely disregard them haha. Mods please delete this thread if necessary.

I am not sure which conclusion you drew from that link for your situation. In theory, you should be eligible to receiving two NTTR keys - even if one of your A-10C keys is now bound to an other account. Right? My understanding is, the NTTR key is subject to the purchase transaction of the Warthog key, and not subject to the fact where, or if at all, the Warthog key is used.

 

But I can imagine that this constellation is perhaps not covered, technically, by the means the ED website/webstore provides. I.e. you should be able to access your NTTR key on the product page (instead of a "buy"-link). But there only one key can be shown ... so, no way to get the second key, correct?

 

IF that is the case, I'd try to contact the ED support.

Thanks Flagrum

 

Conclusion is that I was being dumb!

 

I had received both NTTR serials but had completely forgotten that I needed to assign one of those serials to my friends account, which I have now done. Should be working fine but I'll wait to check when my friend next logs into his account.
