How it works
Once payment is confirmed the system pulls a key from the pool — for most products that takes 5–15 seconds. The key is emailed to the address linked to the order and simultaneously appears under "My keys" in your account.
Activation is hardware-bound on first launch. That closes the door on sharing and theft: even if your email or account is stolen, the key won't activate on someone else's machine.
Median time from payment to key-in-inbox is 12 seconds. No manual approvals, no "waiting for the seller to come online."
