It does matter, when you enter the serial number the game calls a function in the eSellerate system which requires an internet connection. There's a setting, where we can force it to prompt for a connection but that's turned off, since we assume that since the game is download only, most people will be connected to the internet.

There are a few ways this can fail:
1) no serial number
2) wrong length
3) not a valid key (e.g. a typo)
4) failure to write the key to disk
5) no engine found
6) internal failure @ eSellerate networks
7) unknown activation id

Everything except 4 and 6 are impossible. 6 is unlikely, so I have 1 question....are you a member of the administrator user group on this machine?
