    So... where's my CD key?

    I bought the Far Cry 2: Fortune's Edition yesterday, and today I was trying to log into my Ubisoft account so I could unlock the Fortune's DLC, but this requires a CD key and the only one Steam gave me is for the DLC, not for the game itself.  Steam's website won't load for me, so I was hoping one of you guys might have a solution.  Any help?

    Can you right click on the game in the steam library and click on "view game CD key"?

    Yeah, but it only provides me with a code for the Fortune's Pack DLC, which I tried using during my login and got rejected.  I think I need a separate CD key for the base game.

    Are you sure you bought both the DLC and the original game? I just checked my CD key for a game which I have expansion to and sure enough there were two CD keys they it was clearly labeled which one was for the DLC and which was for the regular game.

    @StaticFalconar: Yeah, I bought the Far Cry pack which includes the original Far Cry and Far Cry 2: Fortune's Edition (this includes the game and its DLC).
