Key already in use.

So. I was giving my new friend my brother's old blockland key, since he no longer plays. When he tried to enter the key, it says 'Key already in use' Ideas?

A key can only be tied to one forum account. He'll have to use your brother's forum account.

[termianallyCapricious]

Not forum account. Playing account.

[Zeblote]

He's doing it wrong. He's trying to enter the key for the forum account, as that is where that error message comes from. You don't need any account to play the game. Just enter the key, and it will work.

Hubok 「胡韓銀」: Exactly as you said, putting the key into the game and it says it's in use

Sorry but. Would it help if the key was linked to steam?

[Zeblote]

You could try linking it to your friends steam account and then having him download blockland there. Keep in mind that it can not be unlinked should he decide to stop playing or to not be your friend anymore.

That would probably make the key be tied to the STEAM account in question, making it unusable for other accounts. If you ran Blockland directly instead of through STEAM, the key would probably work. Bear in mind, however, that keys are technically nontransferrable (Badspot has posted saying this, but I can't find the post), so it's probably still not a good idea either way.
