Can somebody please help me?
I bought Portal 2 from a retail shop a while ago, but when I try to install it I get the message "Key is already in use".
I can't take it back to the shop since the retailer does not take back opened games.
And steam simply tells me I should buy a new key.
Is there a way to install this game without steam? I do not want to spend another R400 on a new copy... And I do not want to pirate the game or download a Pirated copy on the web, since I've already got a original copy.
Any help will be appreciated.

original retailer doesnt accept opened games, then take screenshot & take that with game back to them proving you cant install the game as 'key in use' they 'may' issue a new key
but its strange that you get key in use, unless when you un-installed it you didnt de-activate your key, hence thats why you get key in use now...
