I've bought the Paradox strategy pack from Steam. I installed Hoi3 + Semper Fi on a PC and it worked fine.
The Mac version however won't run - when choosing PLAY from Steam or running the executable from /steamapps gives me a prompt to register the game. Entering the key from Steam doesn't work, and it says I need a 32 character code.
I've contacted the company that did the porting, and have gotten a new serial from them, which also doesn't work, and they've been unable to help me out any further, pointing to Paradox/Steam.

Should someone at Paradox care, I can supply you with receipts, tech support conversations and error screenshots.
For whatever reason, I got a second 24 character key from them first. Then I took a screenshot of the error, gave it to VP and was sent to Steam by them. I had the impression they had no idea where the 32 character key comes from.
In the first reply to my support ticket, VP gave me a 24 character key. This did not work either (the validator/game register window needs a 32 character key). I then attached a screen of the validation app, which I've also placed here. After that, I recieved a second reply:
"Please speak with Steam.. this is the code to register on the forum.. you need the install code that should be with your email..
Seems they have an issue..."

I thought this over a bit - I can really make do without the Mac version - I have a ton of games from the Steam pack to go through, and the other Mac versions seem fine ATM. Just know there's a tech support black hole on this issue for future reference.
VP is now talking with Steam. Cenwen, try VP again, they should help you.
