How to Activate a Battle.net Key

Battle.net is Blizzard Entertainment’s game launcher, used for titles like Overwatch, Diablo, World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, and more. Here’s how to redeem a product key.

Before you start

Make sure you have the following ready:

  • A Battle.net account (free to create at battle.net)
  • The Battle.net desktop app installed on your PC
  • Your product key

Method 1: Via the Battle.net Desktop App (Recommended)

  • Open the Battle.net app and sign in to your account.
  • Click your profile name or the Blizzard logo in the top-left corner.
  • Select “Redeem a Code” from the dropdown menu.
  • Enter your product key and click “Redeem Code”.
  • The game or content will be added to your library and available for download.

Method 2: Via the Battle.net Website

Tips

  • Copy and paste your key to avoid typos.
  • Battle.net keys can be for full games, expansions, in-game items, or game time (e.g., WoW subscription time).
  • Some keys may be region-locked. Ensure your Battle.net account region matches the key.
  • Each key can only be redeemed once.
  • If you encounter a “code already claimed” error, contact our support team for assistance.
