Limited edition key not same as in Impulse

from Stardock Forums

Just got my Limited Edition box today (finally!! but... it's not as if I couldn't play). While unpacking, I got the CD case out to rip the soundtrack, I saw the reg code is not the same as the one I have in Impulse. My first thought was "YAY free copy for a friend!" but then... I thought I'd be honest with a company that has shown such honesty and candor to it's customers(including, most notably, myself) and ask on the forums.

Will that key work? Is that an error? X| Is the key needed for later?

Same for me as well.

If you register the key it'll just replace your existing one, so you can do that or just hold on to it.

Yes, but is that 2nd key valid? Can it be given away? Is the plan for Stardock to wait for everyone to get their boxes then require to register the box key? I don't think Stardock would appreciate the key being given to potential customers, which is I've come here. Is Stardock okay with that?

So?

I just got a second copy today :| :O o_O

I just want to know if I can give the key of my first copy away to a friend. I won't do it if Stardock doesn't want me to. They've been so honest to their customers, I want to do the same. I'm also scared that in 1-2 months, I will be forced to enter my physical key to keep updating the game.

By mail. A second copy, a second BOX o_O I now have 2 LE boxes. Stardock said to keep it to other people who got it so... that's what I'll do but I'm wondering about the rest.
