I just realized that I have a bunch of GOG keys from the topware interactive Groupee that I never used, and now they've all expired lol >.>

Any way I can reactivite them or something?

I had similar situation with key for any $5.99 game. I've sent email to support and they just asked me to pick a game and sent me code for it.

There are 2 kinds of GOG keys.
1) Gift keys which are 16 alphanumerical characters. Those do not expire.
2) Bonus codes which are 8 alphanumerical characters. Those do expire.
Bonus codes are handed out by GOG for promotions and contests, but function almost identical to gift codes, with the exception that they are one use only. If you redeem a bonus code with 2 games while you already have one of them, the extra game is lost. This does not happen with gift codes.

They are not supposed to, but the gogkeys supplied for groupee bundles generally expire after a month

Oh - I didn't know that either. I have an 8-character key for Realms of Arcania 3 that I wanted to send to a friend for forever, but never thought that there might be an expiration date. Do you know the time frame?

Depends on the code. I think the Realms of Arcania were good for a year, while some bonus codes for a $9.99 G-Doc gave me were valid for ~45 days. Go to the redeem page, enter the key and you should see a "This code is valid until DD MM of YYYY". Then just click cancel.

+1 for that. But... I thought GOG keys expire after a year. Am I mistaken?

Ah - "expires on November 5th 2013". Thanks for the quick reply - again! :) (GOG should really consider hiring you for their support team.)

See post above your own. It depends on the bonus code.

Thanks to nijuu by the way for the shadowgrounds key :p

I read that. : ) I just thought that even the regular gog keys expired after a year, with promo keys expiring sooner.
