Hello. I've just purchased this game and have run into a little problem. I created my Impulse and Stardock account and entered my serial number, which I have verified is entered using the "Verify Registration" option when right-clicking the product in the My Games tab on Impulse. However, every time I try starting the game, it brings up a window titled "Stardock Product Activation" and asks for my email and serial number. Whenever I try inputting these, I get an error message saying "Stardock's activation program could not communicate with the server. This may be caused by a firewall blocking Internet access, please check your settings and network permissions.", as well as opening a notepad document that I will post below, and proceeds to ask if I would like to activate by email. I have already sent this email, but I am still put off by the fact that I would have to wait at least two days before getting a chance to play the game. I have also verified that my firewalls include all software pertaining to the game and Impulse. If anyone can give me some insight as to how I can fix this problem more quickly I would greatly appreciate it.
