Can you link 2 versions of the same (Steam) product to your account?

Hi,

First off, I know not to buy codes from resellers - I'm not an idiot, I know where they're from. However, my original BoS key on Steam has been deactivated sometime last year (I've not played for a few months due to work). Last year, a friend of me was trying to convince me to try Il2 - I didn't think I'd be up for it much, but he gifted me a code, I installed it and was instantly hooked - especially when the career mode was added (I'm primarily an SP player).

 

I pretty quickly bought BoM and BoK (direct from the Il2 site to support the devs as best as possible) and can't wait to buy BoBp as soon as the map becomes available. 

 

Hands up, I should have checked, but I didn't realise that my code was a dodgy one and to be honest never expected to enjoy the game to the degree I have done (even though I suck at it still!). 

So basically, I want to buy it again on Steam to get a valid code, and would like to keep it in my Steam library but obviously link the new game to the BoM and BoK codes in my Il2 account. I'd buy it this minute from Steam, but for a niggling doubt that I may not be able to add it to my account as I already have a version of BoS associated with my account. 

 

So my questions are:

a) "does anyone know what would happen if I bought it again on Steam and linked it to my account?"
b) "Is there a way to buy it on the Il2 site so the devs get more money but I can still launch from my Steam Library?" 
c) "can you remove a product from your Il2 account that is associated with your username?"
d) "what theatre is coming next after BoBp?" :P

---

I've dropped a similar question to the Il2 support page too, but thought it may be quicker if anyone knows on here. Apologies if it's the wrong place, I couldn't see an obvious 'support' forum.

 

Thanks for any help.

The only one you'll need as a "base" for steam to operate from is BoS. The rest can be bought from this site and if linked to your account you wont need to re-buy through steam. Its even a good time to try since its on sale on steam to the end of this month. I actually have duplicate keys through this site and steam and have not run into any problems aver the years. Your circumstance is pretty complex though and I would recommend you take your inquiry to the support section to guarantee you wont have problems upon purchase. Though if I had to guess based on my experience you shouldn't have trouble.

Thanks, I'll see if I can get an answer, but if not will give that a shot anyway.
