Activar la clave del CD ruso

Activar la clave de CD rusa

[box type="warning" align="" class="" width=""]Lee siempre la descripción de tu juego seleccionado, algunas CD Key rusas requieren una VPN para poder jugar realmente al juego, no sólo su activación. Además, realizar este tipo de acciones contraviene el Acuerdo de Suscripción de Steam y puede dar lugar a una acción negativa contra tu cuenta. Activa la Russian CD Key bajo tu propio riesgo[/box].

La mayoría de los clientes habituales de las tiendas online de claves de CD conocen las claves de CD rusas. Proceden de Rusia (por supuesto) y suelen ser mucho más baratas que sus homólogas sin región. ¿A qué se debe esto? Bueno, en pocas palabras, un juego que costaría 70 dólares en los Estados Unidos o en Australia simplemente no se vendería en Rusia, así que para conseguir que el juego se venda en Rusia, el editor baja los precios... drásticamente.

Lo que esto significa para nosotros, los occidentales, es que podemos comprar claves de vapor que estaban destinadas al mercado ruso, pero activarlas en nuestra cuenta normal de Steam. Esto se hace asignando a nuestro ordenador una dirección IP rusa mientras activamos el juego en steam.

Durante mucho tiempo hemos estado utilizando los servicios de nuestros sitios asociados aquí en CDKeyPrices. Muchas veces (sobre todo debido a los costes y al alto tráfico) los servicios eran un poco lentos. Decidimos invertir en nuestro propio servicio VPN de calidad (nos decidimos por el impresionante TorGuard para que los usuarios que viajan a través del sitio puedan activarlo directamente y no tengan que esperar a conectarse a los lentos servidores rusos/polacos.

Las claves de cd rusas son una gran manera de ahorrar muchos y sólo toman un minuto más o menos para ponerse en marcha. Siga los siguientes pasos, fáciles de seguir, para empezar a jugar en cuestión de minutos. Si tienes algún problema, ponte en contacto con nosotros.

Paso 1 - Obtener el archivo PBK

Aunque puedes conectarte a la VPN usando programas más avanzados, como OpenVPN, pensamos que sería un poco más fácil para ti si preconfiguramos todos los ajustes que necesitas en un archivo dedicado. En este caso se trata del archivo .pbk, o directorio telefónico de Microsoft. Este archivo es fácil de usar y muy pequeño para descargar. Lo primero es lo primero... ¡descárgalo!

[box type="download" align="aligncenter" class="" width=""]Haga clic aquí para descargarlo

[/box]

Paso 2 - Ponerlo en marcha

Yo suelo descargar el .pbk directamente a mi escritorio, para poder borrarlo fácilmente una vez que haya terminado.

Haz doble clic en él para ejecutarlo. El servidor al que tenemos que conectarnos ya está elegido (sólo hay uno). Algunos otros juegos pueden requerir la IP de otro país para que funcionen (por ejemplo, algunos juegos no funcionarán en Japón) y si ese es el caso, simplemente ponte en contacto con nosotros y estudiaremos la posibilidad de añadir algunos países más a la lista desplegable.

Abre el archivo.

Pulsa Conectar.

Introduzca los datos de

nombre de usuario = cdkeyprices
contraseña = cdkeyprices

Paso 3 - Verificar su dirección IP

Simplemente dirígete a WhatIsMyIP

Deberías notar en la sección de País que ahora dice "Federación Rusa". Lo que esto significa es que tu IP ha cambiado con éxito y engañará a Steam para que piense que estás en Rusia y te permita activar el juego en Steam.

Paso 4 - Abrir Steam y activar la clave de CD rusa

Una vez que hayas verificado que tu dirección IP ha cambiado, podemos abrir Steam y activar nuestro juego.

  • En la parte superior de Steam, haz clic en "Juegos".
  • Selecciona "Activar un producto en Steam"
  • En la ventana que aparece, haz clic en "Siguiente".
  • Lee el acuerdo y haz clic en "Acepto".
  • Pega el código que obtuviste de la tienda de claves de CD que elegiste en el área de texto y haz clic en "Siguiente".
  • Ahora haz clic en cerrar, NO COMIENCES LA DESCARGA.
  • Cierra steam completamente.
  • Abra el archivo CDKeyPrices.pbk de nuevo y seleccione Colgar

... ¡y ya está!

Paso 5 - Cerrar la VPN y recuperar nuestra IP normal

Una vez que su juego se ha activado con éxito, tenemos que asegurarnos de que Steam está completamente cerrado.

A continuación, abre de nuevo el archivo CDKeyPrices.pbk y selecciona Colgar. Siempre me gusta volver a WhatIsMyIP para comprobar que ha cambiado de nuevo a mi país y dirección IP normales. Esto asegurará que todo vuelva a la normalidad, pero lo más importante es que comenzarás a descargar el juego desde los servidores de tu región y no desde los de Rusia, lo que puede llevar un tiempo.

Disfruta. Las cosas basadas en Rusia son una gran manera de conseguir claves de vapor baratas. Lee siempre la descripción con atención.

  3. i have the game in the inventory of steam, but i cannot add it to the library with this method, the web «what is my ip» says i’m in moscow, but steam still says im not allowed to take the game.

    Responder

    1. I believe the game needs to be activated with the VPN…I think this is the mos important part…what game are we talking about here anyways?! 😛

      Responder

  4. Hey so i really want to try this but im sceptical about doing it as ive heard once you activate the game with the vpn you always have to use the vpn to play it and i dont really wanna go through the hassle and i heard steam can ban your steam account for doing it? And the game i wanna do this for is Borderlands the pre sequel ~Evan

    1. If a game is released in the region free and russian version, we will usually split them up as the Russian are sometimes cheaper. What usually occurs after a period of time if the region free version becomes as cheap as the Russia version, at which point I remove it. At this point in time we don’t have any Russian/VPN games listed for price comparison, but they come and go all the time!

      Responder

      1. Maybe you have a VPN program installed? I dont, but as I say, you just have to save it with .PBK at the end and it works fine

        Responder

  7. I have a question!
    When i activated a game like fifa 15 or something. Can i play with my friends with te global version and do i need every time when i’m gonna play it turn my vpn on? Plz awnser me because this will spend me a lot of money if it mwill work!

    Responder

    1. It really depends on the game!! But most yes it is only the language that needs checking, but some are locked to Russian servers. Havent seen one like that in a while though. Always read the description on the website you pick.

      Responder

  9. I’ve just bought a Civilization Beyond Earth key that is RU region. I have used your method and managed to successfully enter the game key. Relogged without the .pbk and Steam will not allow me download it because of the region lock. I think it may be fair to warn users that Steam is now doing this!

    Responder

    1. Thanks for this. As I mentioned, its very important to check each game. Did you manage to fix the issue? I haven’t looked into the Russian Civ versions to be honest.

      Responder

      1. Not yet, no reply from steam support to allow me to remove it to get a normal version, and ignored by the seller on if I can trade it back with the added monetary difference for my region. I have a feeling it is new releases on Steam now… Perhaps old RU keys will continue to work.

        Responder

          1. Unfortunate news. My vendor refused any kind of exchange or refund, and Steam wasn’t budging either. I had no option but to cut my loses, losing all the money I paid for the RU version, and only yesterday did Steam commit to removing it completely from my library so I could purchase it legitimately region-free (at the naturally higher price).

      2. It does seem to be a Steam-wide crackdown on any new keys that are region locked. That being said, the support staff were helpful and very nice to me considering they almost positively knew I was cheating them out of pocket by doing what I tried to do.

  10. I activated CoD: Advanced Warfare RU with the pbk file but then I forgot to exit steam and instantly pressed download whilst still being connected to the Russian IP. It then said the game is region locked and when I disconnected from the VPN and tried again with my normal IP it also says it’s region locked. Is it because of what I did wrong or is it an issue with this specificc game?

    Responder

        1. G2A No specific instructions there but same thing here did the activation but the download is broke i thing this is a bug steam sided i seen also people from ukriane dat have the same problem.

          Responder

    3. I did the exact steps and it says when I go to install. «This game was activated with a product code that is valid only in a specific geographic region. Since you are not currently in that region, CoD-AW – Multiplayer is not available to play. :/

      Responder

      1. Same problem here. I can only make it start when using a RU vpn. If I don’t use it Steam doesn’t say that is installed on the system!

        Responder

          1. I simply connected to the VPN, then when it started I’ve disconnected from the VPN. The download procedeed normally then

  11. I’ve activate CoD: Advanced Warfare RU, following this guide http://www.cjs-cdkeys.com/blog/2011/09/russian-steam-keys/09/how-to-activate-russian-steam-cd-keys/. I bought it from G2A. I connected to the VPN, activated the game, and started downloading it, then I’ve disconnected from the VPN and the download continued normally. Now the problem is that If i don’t connect to the VPN and Start steam after doing this Steam won’t let me start CoD. And I can’t play online because it does not connect to the servers… Any suggestions?

    Responder

  13. Try to connect using the .pbk and U & P in the guide, but get «error 691: The remote connection was denied because…» Basically it doesn’t like the U&P…

    Responder

      1. That would be awesome, thanks. I have been looking at a subscription VPN for $6 per month, but this sort of defeats the point, considering it’s used to buy RU keys to save money…

        Responder

        1. Hi there…I have just emailed the website I am with for the service, appears I have some sort of billing issue I wasn’t aware of!!

          Will get back to you 🙂

          Responder

  16. Does this officially work yet? or does steam still give you issues when using this method? because an RU Dying Light key is a hell of a lot cheaper

    Responder

  18. so whenever I put «Yes I have steam, install your new game now» all it says on steam is preparing list of steam licenses and it just stays there nothing downloads and the game doesnt appear

    Responder

  19. I’ve opened the VPN up, have the game (H1Z1) in my inventory, tried to redeem it and add to library but still doesn’t work. please help

    Responder

  20. Today it changed my currency to dollars, kinda funny.
    Tried it yesterday too, my steam (on browser) was in russian, but my steam client was still european, couldnt activate mah steam gift on neither of em’. I’ve been lookin for working VPN for a while and nothing worked out so far. Any ideas?

    Responder

    1. hello, i bought evolve monster monster race edition and i was able to install and activate it via vpn and then i stumbled upon the region lock problem. i tried the fix multiple times but it just doesn’t work for me. i even went so far as to completely uninstall then reinstall steam and then proceeded with the fix but i just can’t get it to work. i can get so far as downloading and installing then running once then exit steam and vpn then adding the non steam game with id. i use cdkeyprices vpn and flyvpn together to download and install but somehow the shorcut thing doesn’t work for me. any thoughts?

      Responder

      1. yea bro for evolve it didnt work for me by putting the text file in same folder as the evolve.exe. i had to put the text file in the evolve.exe folder (which was the common/EvolveGame/Bin64_SteamRetail folder) AND i had to put the text file in the common/EvolveGame folder. it will work for you if you do put it in both folders. need anymore help let me know.

        Responder

        1. i got it to work now. thanks a lot man. i haven’t tried multiplayer yet though; inviting friends to play. if i learned anything from this is that vpn activated games are usually a pain. i guess i’m lucky i found a thread with the same issue with the same game

          Responder

          1. so did you have to did you have to put the text file in both folders that i listed above to get it to work? Also since its a non-steam game you will not be able to invite friends to play with you, they might be able to invite you im not sure, but i was not able to invite any of my friends. So i had steam delete evolve from my library and i bought the Russian steam GIFT of the game and activated vpn and now its not region locked so i can invite friends and they can invite me.

            actually on the vpn games pain part, if you dont do the digital key and do the steam gift via vpn its alot easier and you dont have to worry about the region lock. i dont think i’m ever buying a russian digital key again i think im stickin with the steam russian gifts. never had a problem with the gifts, just the digital keys.

          2. yes i did, it worked like a charm. i just finished a session with friends. i can confirm that they can invite me but we forgot to go about me inviting them. next time we play, i’ll insist on inviting them then i’ll post an update here.
            thanks on the tip with with steam gifts. i’ll remember that next time i decide to buy a game. high five

          4. I can confirm that I cannot invite my buddies to game but they can invite me. They just hear that tone whenever you receive an invite but nothing on the chat

  22. Bought a Russian game, able to activate it, but Steam will not let me download it even though I am still connected to VPN. Any solutions people?

    Responder

    1. Hi there Grove88, are you the person I have just responded to via email? I need a bit more info about your game. I am trying not to list them anymore as they are harder and harder to get working!

      Responder

      1. Hi there admin, I am not the person you are referring to. I bought Evolve basic version. I have to connect to the VPN and download it, and then use the workaround Rob provided to get it working. Hope that helps thank you.

  27. Hi! I activated a russian version of both Advanced Warfare and Dying Light on steam. I was able to activate/download/run them both. However, when I needed to reinstall them, even when I followed the steps above exactly, and when ip address sites say I’m in Russia, steam still says that the games cant be played in my region. Any advice?
    Thanks for all your help in advance!

    Responder

  30. Game is region locked so it is compulsory to use a VPN for the entire time when you are playing. And for this we need a VPN which show Russian Ip. I search on internet with the search term of Best Russian VPN and found VpnRanks, which is a VPN review site. Then I choose a VPN provider from there and after that I haven’t got any problem with my game.

    Responder

  31. hey,i activated ARK: Survival Evolved using a ru/cis gift, now, everytime i start the game i have to use the vpn, otherwise i get this message:This game was activated with a product code that is valid only in a specific geographic region since you are not currently in that region,ARK: Survival Evolved is not available to play, any fix?:(((

    Responder

  35. I’ve got a problem :/
    I bought a russian Steam-key for «Deadpool» from g2a.com and used this guide. It worked well until «You can now start to download your game.» I cannot, because it says that I am not in the country where the key is valid. Even when closing steam and changing my IP to russian it fails to work, because of the same issue. How can Steam recognize where I really am despite my russian IP? And how can I even download the game now, any hints?

    Responder

    1. Hi there, I don’t really suggest using gifts anymore to get around region restrictions as they are really cracking down on it.

      Responder

  37. You forgot to warn us that using a VPN to activate keys is in breach of the Steam Subscriber Agreement and that doing it could get your account PERMANENTLY SUSPENDED.

    Responder

  38. This method works but not for all games, for example it works with me with: All counter strike version, Left 4 Dead, Garry’s Mod, outlast, PES 2015/2016

    but didn’t work with Dying Light, Rocket League, COD AWF, game activated normally with VPN & downloaded successfully but after disconnecting the VPN «Play» turns into «install» again & must open VPN to play it.

    Any Idea ?

    Responder

    1. Hi Mohamed,

      Yes this is the case with a lot of Russian games now, you need a VPN to install AND play..I am adding a warning to the guide.

      Responder

  40. Where are you from guys? If from Hungary, or other poor country, it’s okay… but if you from Germany, or the USA it’s not okay…

    Responder

  44. Hi is there a list of games that are playable without VPN? That way you’re sure that the RU game you bought will work anyway.
