Questions and Answers:

AutoKey Related Questions:

What is Autokey?

Autokey is the name of the unique Digital Delivery system that CJS-CDKeys.com built and use to dispatch items to customers. If you find an 'Autokey' system anywhere else, it is a rip-off! CJS are proud to be the original designers and creators of the Autokey system.  It is an online system which allows customers to collect their purchased codes with ease.

Does Autokey generate the codes?

No.  Our system does not generate the codes, it simply stores them and dispatches them to customers as required.  When you collect a code from autokey, it simply grabs a key from our stock, assigns it to your order, and displays it to you.  The Autokey system itself does not generate the codes, CJS CD Keys staff upload the codes taken from retail boxes to the Autokey System.

How do I use Autokey?

CJS CD Keys have taken care to design the Autokey system in a way that is as easy as possible for the customer to use.

Immediately after your payment, you will be redirected from the payment screen back to our website, where you will see an order confirmation. To collect your purchased code(s), simply go to your 'Order Status' page, and click the 'Collect on Autokey' button.

If your order is marked as "Awaiting Fulfillment" It means that your order is ready for collection on autokey.  If your order is marked as "Shipped" it means that Autokey has already dispatched the code to your email, and you are free to go back to view your code on the Autokey page as many times as you wish.

I pre-ordered a game but AutoKey tells me it is out of stock

This is normal. We ship our game pre-orders approximately 2 days before the global release date of the game.  When the game arrives in stock and is uploaded to autokey, you will receive an email notification.

Autokey told me the game I purchased is out of stock.

We strive to keep all games in stock at all times but in the rare event that autokey is out of stock, our staff will always replenish autokey within approximately 12 hours.  Please be patient. You will receive an email once the autokey system has been replenished with cd keys.

Autokey said my order is not approved.

If you paid via Alertpay or your order is flagged as suspicious then our staff will manually approve your order. We will approve your order within around 2 hours in most cases.  Keys paid for via Moneybookers or Paypal will be approved instantly.
