So.
I was a 1.0 member. Had the service in my account.

Bought a pre-order CE (Windows) through the SE Online shop.

Aug 26, Mog Station says I've got a Standard edition. Fine, because I haven't been issued my code yet. (BTW, Square Store: Offering Early Access and then not sending the codes out until Launch day? Not smart.)

Aug 27: Received an email from the store with 2 codes in it. One is a 5-segment 20 character code. One is a 4-segment (6-3-6-3) 18 character code.

Following instructions in the email given to me by the store, go to register the 18 character code at the preorder site. Site accepts the code, spits out a different 5-segment, 20 character code, and procedes to direct me to the code redemption page for THAT.

THAT page, when given the 20 character code, tells me my code is not for my own region and is therefore unusable.

Attempting to put the other 20 character code in (from the email) is rejected as invalid.


So.... what undocumented step have I missed here, Square?
