[Help] How to activate Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War on PC
As a direct partner of Activision, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to purchase and activate Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Here we show you step by step how to activate Cold War on your Battle.net account.

If you click on the title, you will be taken to the page for the activation process.

If you want to link another Battle.net account, you should unlink the account **before activating it ("Log off to switch accounts") and then link Gamesplanet to the correct Battle.net account. You can also create a completely new Battle.net account on the registration page of Blizzard if you wish.
Important Note: A game activated on a Battle.net Account cannot be transferred to another account, nor can the activation be reversed. So make sure that the correct account is linked to Gamesplanet.
