# License Key Rules

License keys in Hyperflick are **account-bound** and **product-specific**. Understanding these rules will save you time if you ever upgrade, downgrade, or buy a key for a different title.

## Keys Are Account-Bound

A license key is tied to the account it's first redeemed on. You can only redeem a key on an account whose tier and product match the key itself.

## Tier Differences

Keys are not interchangeable across tiers within the same product. For example:

* A **WWM Basic** key **cannot** be redeemed on a **WWM Premium** account.
* A **WWM Premium** key **cannot** be redeemed on a **WWM Basic** account.

### Upgrading or Downgrading

If you're moving between tiers (e.g. Basic → Premium, or Premium → Basic), you must **create a new account** and redeem the new key there. Your old account remains, but the new tier lives on the new account.

## Cross-Game Keys Don't Work

Keys are also locked to the product they were purchased for. For example:

* An **Overwatch** key cannot be redeemed on a **WWM** account.
* A **WWM** key cannot be redeemed on an **Overwatch** account.

If you've purchased a key for a different game, create a new account for that title and redeem the key there.

## Summary

| Scenario                     | Outcome              |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------- |
| Same product, same tier      | ✅ Works              |
| Same product, different tier | ❌ Need a new account |
| Different product            | ❌ Need a new account |

If you're unsure whether a key will work on your account, ask in [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/kXCMvvjhnM) before redeeming.
