How to Activate Frozen Synapse on Steam
![]()
Here is how to activate on Steam if you are an existing pre-order customer or direct sales customer…
If you purchased the game yourself from Mode 7
1.) You will need to find your original license key
It will have been mailed to you when you purchased the game
If you have lost it, contact Fastspring with your details and they will provide you with it.
2.) Open Steam and go to “Activate a Product on Steam” in the Games menu
3.) Slap that beauty in there!
If you were sent a copy of the game under the “free copy for a friend” scheme
1.) Go to this place to get your key
http://www.mode7games.com/support/getURL.php
2.) Follow the above set of instructions
If you are a journalist and were sent a review copy
Your key should now work on Steam.
If you purchased from another distributor e.g. Desura
You cannot currently activate your copy of Frozen Synapse on Steam, for obvious reasons (you bought it from a direct competitor). This may change in the future, although that is unlikely – if so, though, I will update this post.

Worked like a charm and giant high five for letting us do this.

If there was one thing that could’ve made the FS launch better, it was this. So rad that we get this on Steam. This was probably part of the preorder agreement but if it is, I’ve forgotten about it.

Woot woot! Thanks!

I bought the game last year when purchase was available originally – I used the key I obtained to unlock it on steam – but steam doesn’t give me a way to give my extra copy out and I can’t see how to do it from here. Can you help?

I downloaded the product direct after being a beta player. When activating the game on steam it wants to download it again when I already have it installed. How can I activate without downloading again?
