Ok this is really getting on my nerves... i brought it today but what ever i do i can not get it to work i dont even know if its activated!

I have been given a activation code but where do i enter this? i was taken to a website to link accounts etc but whatever i do it doesnt work

ive install reinstalled 2142 > patched to 1.4 > installed Northern Strike > patched 1.4 again > patch 1.5

any help or if someone could spend half hour helping me i would be most greatfull.

Thanks
