I don't know where else to post this, but this is regarding the digital download/purchase of SoaSE. My question is both simple and 'complex.

Is any email sent containing my serial after I purchase the game online? Or if it's not the general procedure, would it be possible to obtain my serial via email? If yes, would the key be 'valid' with a 'pirated' version.

As far as I know, the game doesn't have any copy protection, so I figure there shouldn't be any issues with it. Ditto regarding patching the 'illegal' version.

I'm asking this because my local game stores are inexplicably devoid of hard copies of the game, and the house containing my gaming PC is hooked up to 'lite' broadband, i.e. slow ass downloads. With that said, it would be preferable if I could fore go a second downloading, but if it's not possible, whatever.

EDIT: Awesome, by happenstance, I was looking over my purchase confirmation email, and saw that the serial is indeed included.
