Just bought TGB pro but no product key?

Seems like all the links on my private download page are all to the trial version? Do you get a product key in your email or what is going here? I found no product key for TGB anywhere in my account.

If you have TGB Pro, I do not believe you need an activation key. Since you have the source and can compile it yourself.

There's no need for a key.

Actually I was just on the phone with support. The copy I recieved was the trial version although it said I had downloaded the pro version it STILL required a key to activate it. Since I recently just reinstall Windows entirely I knew it wasn't anything wrong on my end. I actually DID need a product key to activate it which the tech support guy added to my account. They are investigating it further as I also has account activation problems as well. Wierd as this is actually strange that this happened.

That's strange. I've never needed a key. There's always been some weirdness with using a trial first and then the full version, though. This happens both on Windows and OS X. I haven't been bit by it, since I'm many clean installs/new laptops away from having even looked at a trial. GG need to figure out why this keeps happening :/

I probably (most likely) downloaded the demo and installed that 1st, I really don't know for sure as I swear I only installed the pro version. Anyway I uninstalled it and reinstalled the pro version this time and I guess it was ok then, no big deal really it just freaked me out there for a few minutes. I also bought the two addon kits too, I figure if I'm going to go all out on this I might as well get those too.

BTW are there any good free compilers to TGBP rebuild the source other than paying a small fortune for Visual Studio?

Thanks

Hey, talked to you on the support e-mail. You can use the express version of Visual Studio. It's free.
