You have to register some codes, and then make sure to launch from the Steam version, since Steam obnoxiously does a separate (and sometimes troublesome) install.

I think I answered this somewhat earlier this month, although reading the thread this quote is from might also help:

If you got a trial account, then got the game installed through Steam, Steam may have installed in a different location, meaning that you will have to launch from the Steam copy to access your installed copy that has the expansions if this is the case.
