I had this problem and it turned out it was because I had changed my password for the Elemental forum and this was linked to my Stardock/Impulse Account. I wasn't logged in on Impulse anymore and did not see any feedback on that in the Impulse client (I can't remember how I figured it out).
On a related note, it sure looks like we're sending our passwords in clear text when logging into the Elemental forum. Is this a good idea if that same password is used to access digital rights to all our games from Impulse?
