Hey guys. Another quick question. So, I purchased Ultimate (paying monthly) on my pc and that works great. Now I'm at work and I'd like to access my ability to create a campaign from my Macbook. Going to steam, I download the demo then input my key and I dont have the option to create campaign. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for the input :)

Run an update after inputting your key. The update will download the ultimate executable based off your licence key.

Where does that ultimate executable go? So I dont goto steam and run the FG demo?

Also make sure you have the key in the right spot.

It will be done automatically as part of the update. Go into the settings window, enter your licence key (in the top line). If you've purchased any add-ons through the FG store enter your FG website username and password. Press OK and then press "update" in the "Updater" window that appears next.

Yea, the key is in the right spot and I've updated but the update button is still lit. And it still says demo in the top right of the screen..

Depending on when you bought it, you should first choose to Activate a Product and use the Ultimate Key. It may not have been sent over yet, but if you bought it in June, there is a good chance. That way it won't show up that you are running a Demo in Steam.

Also as a note do not, I repeat NOT work on your campaign at home and at work in a cloud/synced subdirectory. There is a distinct possibility of it getting corrupted if you are working on it actively at the same time as it tries and sync's with the server. Always copy into and out of the synced site. It copy into the sync location at home, copy out of it at work, and then copy back into the sync for carrying to home. Using a flash drive is easier though.
