It's such a simple procedure to buy a download game, but I am always amazed when I read posts concerning the loss of serial numbers. Since the serial number is an integral part of the purchase, the first thing I do, even before installing the game is open Notepad and copy paste the order information w/date of purchase (from the confirmation email) and if necessary the last 5 digits of the credit card, then last item the serial number, save it as "BlahBlahGame (Order/Serial Info).txt". Save at least 2 copies or burn to CD/DVD and it is as good as having the hard copy.

Or you could register you games here under "Matrix Members Club". There is a place to add your serialnumbers and a link that will give you an e-mail with them all....

Couldn't be easier as a backup.

I lose or don't keep my order number and my cards change. I have about 4 games I can't play now because all I did is buy the download. I will in the future only buy both.

all you have to do is to send all that stuff to your gmail account - you can log in look in your serials folder and its all there forever can retrieve it anywhere anytime

your CD/text file/HD/backup/hardcopy will be destroyed when Sherman burns his way through your town but google will outlive you - plus if you store your stuff online you already have your browser open ready to re-download or retrieve more info
