The process of redeeming a Steam key has been changed because of the new site design. Please see the new instructions here:

Don't worry, if you do not wish to use Steam, nothing will change and all future updates will be available to non-Steam versions as well :)

That is good to hear. I am not a fan of Valve/Steam, and would be greatly disappointed if CMANO was too closely linked to it.

No rants. No laundry list of issues to present. Rather, suffice to say I don't buy games that are dependent on Steam; I won't load it on my computer. If CMANO has the option for Steam -- fine, no problem. I understand why and that some people/clients/customers prefer it. I simply don't, and appreciate the intent to allow non-Steam participation.

Regards,
Feltan

Thanks Mike. I hope it is a successful addition for you guys, and that you realize additional sales revenue. You have an outstanding product with a limited install base, the more people you reach the better.

Feltan

Seconded, workshop for scenarios / units / import lists would be awesome.

Status: offline 		I am eager to integrate CMANO with Steam in order to manage/automate updates. I have my Steam key, generated by my original CMANO download key, but I am not sure how to use this to bring the game into Steam. I do not think it's via the Steam?Games/Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library service . I suspect the Steam key is used to re-purchase the game on Steam, obviously free of charge. However, the game is not yet for sale on Steam. Can anyone confirm or correct my assumptions here and let me know if there is anything I should be doing now with my Steam Key rather than wait intil the game goes on sale at Steam on the 26th? Many thanks.

Status: offline 		So if I buy the game on Steam using my key, does that mean I will have a redundant install on my HD that I should delete? Or will it simply integrate my current install into Steam? Sorry about the boring questions but I try to be as tidy as possible in managing file storage on my PC. Many thanks.

If you don't want to use steam we'll be releasing an update shortly which you can update in the usual way.

Thanks!

Mike

Status: offline 		But where so I input the Steam key once I have it? In CMANO? On the Steam Store page? In other words, what do I do with the Steam key in order to convert CMANO into a game for which Steam will handle updates? Again, I apologise if I am being obtuse; Mike, you are a very patient man.

Status: offline 		If we register the key with Steam, does this invalidate the non-Steam version? I have the game on my desktop and laptop. I don't really want to use the Steam version on my laptop as it's often with me when work takes me to remote areas with no internet or wifi access and Steam will sometimes "forget" that I've set it to offline mode.

I would like to use the Steam version on my desktop though (because I'm lazy.)

Not authoritative, but I don't see why it would invalidate the original. I'm installing the Steam version now and as far as I know, it's two separate installs on this computer.

Status: offline 		Yes, I can confirm that they are separate installs. The Steam install, which does not invalidate any other install, is conveniently identified in Windows Program Manager as CMANO "WGOY" (or some such acronym, I am AFK right now…), which distinguishes it from the original exe.
