3. Open the Steam client and locate the “+ ADD A GAME...” button on the bottom left of the window. Click this and choose the “Activate a Product on Steam…” option.
4. Paste the key from your clipboard in the “Product Code” section when asked, and follow the rest of the prompts to add the game to your library.
