how do pre-order customers get D.A.?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I haven't seen any posts that definitively answer my question.

I pre-ordered D.A. back in June of last year (nah, I wasn't anxious to get it... ) but I have yet to see anything from StarDock regarding how I can get my copy. I ordered just the downloadable version so expected to see something from them right after they officially released the expansion pack but so far, nothing.

How do I get my copy please?

First, download and install Stardock Central. It can be found on this website under teh downloads section, it is the means by which Stardock handles thier digital distribution (kinda like Steam, but better).

Once it is installed, go ahead and register. Make sure that when you do so, you use the same e-mail that yo used to order the game.

Now, if you pre-ordered, then you should have recieved an e-mail containing your serial numbers. If Stardock Central does not prompt you to being your download, then you wil have to register your game manually. While in the program click on "Tools" and go to Register Product. Selet what product it is you are registering, and copy and paste your serial number into the designated area.

Once your registration goes through (should just take a couple seconds), you should be good to go!

If you ordered far enough back that you had the beta available (even if you did not participate then), you should simply need to fire up SDC and download it. You would have been charged back when the beta started rather than this week, so you may not have received an email as non-beta users did.

Thanks Feud and Kryo, I'm downloading as we speak. I had SDC already installed but did not realize I had to manually register the game first and then the download became accessible to me under the "Purchased Software" section (it always just said "Purchase" beside the 'Dark Avatar (Expansion Pack)' option rather than "Install").

Thanks again for your help.
