Hi again,

BOR and Hannibal patches install fine. AJE says invalid serial number. It's was a pre-order purchase from Ageod. I checked the Ageod forum and notice some similar situations. Any Ideas?

I got my Steam key and tried that... Steam accepted it and I'll reinstall the game... I'm assuming that when Steam applies the patch it will work?

I think I will conserve bandwidth before downloading from Steam... waiting for some advice.

UPDATE: Steam went in and installed behind my back (had the download paused but it kicked in anyway). Seems to have installed with no problem so using your invalid SN to get a Steam Key from Matrix seems to be the solution.

Just wanted to say thanks to the Matrix/Slitherine Tech Support mob for their quick action on the serial codes issue with the v105 patch. I sent in a ticket yesterday evening (PST) and this AM received access to a new download and serial numbers for AJE and Spartacus DLC. I would also like to acknowledge that fine AJE stalwart Franciscus for his efforts and assistance to the AJE community. We do not see it much here but over on the AGEOD forums, he is an essential and greatly appreciated asset for all of us who enjoy the AJE franchise.

Hi!

I'm also having trouble trying to update AJE to 1.05. It says my serial number is invalid.
In my case my serial is not an AGEOD pre-order one, but a spanish retail edition serial (AJE was published in Spain back in 2012 by FX Interactive).
I have just opened a support ticket here at Matrix. Hope this is also ok... [:)]

Regards!
