Hi all, it has been a long time!

I have a retail copy of CIV: The Complete Edition that was bought years ago-it doesn't even have the latest retail patch I believe. Is there any way that I can activate this on Steam-I searched around and it seems like it is possible, but I don't know how because I can't find any product code on my CD or on the box.

Thanks!
 
No, you can't activate a retail version on Steam. Steam allows you to activate Steam-keys sold through 3rd party sites, but then you wouldn't have gotten a CD. You can also add non-Steam games to the Library, but that doesn't update them or anything. It only adds a shortcut to the executable.

But CFC has the latest patch for BTS.
 
Hi Windsor,

You can activate it on Steam! :) Just have to get in touch with 2k games giving picture of your CD and Case with a piece of paper with your e-mail written on it.

Might be nice to have a backup copy on Steam (hate or love it) for the convenience.
