| “Key not recognized” | Wrong platform (e.g., Epic key entered on Steam) | Confirm which store the key belongs to; each platform has its own redemption portal. |
| “Key revoked” | Retailer flagged the key as fraudulent (often after a chargeback) | Contact the retailer’s support with proof of purchase; they may issue a replacement. |

| Practice | Reason |
|----------|--------|
| Keep a backup | Store a copy on an external drive or secure cloud storage (e.g., encrypted Google Drive, OneDrive). |
| Use a password manager | Most password managers (1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass) allow you to save “Secure Notes” – perfect for product keys. |
| Avoid public sharing | Posting the key publicly (forums, social media, screenshots) can lead to unauthorized use and eventual revocation. |
| Rename the file | If you must keep the file on a shared computer, rename it to something non‑obvious (e.g., notes_2024.txt). |
| Enable two‑factor authentication (2FA) on your game platform accounts to prevent others from redeeming keys on your behalf. |
| Delete the file after activation (optional) if you prefer not to keep a lingering copy. Keep a secure backup elsewhere if you think you’ll need it again. |
