SoaSE Rebellion activation?

Greetings. Since I don't like Windows, I used to play games under Wine. Recently my friend showed me sins, but I didn't know if it would work under Wine, especially the Steam version. So I asked him to log in Steam on my PC and try to play the game (he had to activate sins). Sins worked pretty good so I bought the game. But now there is a question: how could I re-activate sins using my credentials? Is it actually necessary to do this?

PS: sorry for my poor English.

The Rebellion activation file is located at C:\ProgramData\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\License. You can go to that folder and delete 'rebellion.bin'. Once that is done, you can run the game again and it will prompt for the activation.

Thank you, Gargabee.

PS: it appears that the file is located under All users directory (or whatever it called under Windows). I.e. I've found it here:

WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Ironclad Games/Sins of a Solar Empire/License/rebellion.bin

So under Windows it could be here:

WINDRIVE/Documents and settings/All users/Application Data/Ironclad Games/Sins of a Solar Empire/License/rebellion.bin

Maybe it's because the game was installed through Steam.
