Follow-up to incorrect serial keys announcement
Dear Fans.
I hope everyone is enjoying Fritz Chess 14. I am posting this as an update to an earlier post I had put regarding incorrect serial keys that have been distributed through the Steam Client. I've been getting some emails regarding incorrect keys when they are correct. The most common mistake that is being made is that the security characters are not being entered into the box correctly. Also, when the serial key box pops up and you get a notice from your firewall, please don't block it otherwise the activation process won't work correctly.
If you have any questions about this please post in the forums and I would be happy to address them.
Thank You.

While I've outlined in the forums on how to deactivate your product, in the event that you get the error that says " key is already used " please visit the Chessbase website at http://en.chessbase.com/support and supply your serial code.
