PC/Mac/Linux

If you're new to FM or need a gentle nudge in the right direction, here's how to install for the first time:

Steam purchases
Steam do not issue digital install codes so when your purchase is complete your game will automatically appear in your Steam Library ready for install.

Boxed copies 
Your product code can be found on the white sticker above the disc. Once located:

1.     Download the free Steam client: http://store.steampowered.com/about/

2.     Open Steam and Go to '+ADD A GAME' at the bottom-left of the window

3.     Select 'Activate a Product on Steam’

4.     Enter your product code and follow the instructions to begin installation 

Digital purchases
If you’ve purchased a product code from a digital provider, your code should have been sent to you via email and you will need to follow the instructions below to activate: 

1.     Download the free Steam client: http://store.steampowered.com/about/

2.     Open Steam and Go to '+ADD A GAME' at the bottom-left of the window

3.     Select 'Activate a Product on Steam’

4.     Enter your product code and follow the instructions to begin installation 

If you haven’t received or have misplaced your Beta code, please speak to your retailer as a starting point. If they can’t resolve your issue then please contact SEGA customer services at help@sega.co.uk with proof of purchase, and they will aim to get you playing as quickly as possible.

Beta owners

For those who have been enjoying either of the pre-release betas, simply quit and restart Steam and your game will automatically update to the full version. Any single-player career progress you made during the beta can be carried forward when your game is finished updating.

If you experience any install or troubleshooting issues or think you’ve spotted a bug or data issue, please post your issue on our Football Manager 2017 Bugs Forum and one of our QA team will get back to you at first opportunity.

As always, any feedback please keep it to our Official Feedback Thread. 

If you’re yet to purchase FM17 you can do so now and begin playing immediately.

The release is SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE with saves started in the Pre-Release Beta.

From behalf of everyone at Sports Interactive, happy managing!
