A: Hm.. look at the Sky, it looks like there is a Cube flying.
B: Wait.. a Cube? Flying?
A: Yep, a flying Cube. Look, there. *pointing in the Sky*
B: Oh yeah, you are right. Erm.. it comes closer; you see?
A: Closer? hm.. yep.. it's falling down. Attention! It looks like it will drop here!

... seconds later....

B: Wuh. That was close. It crashed into the Ground near your feet.
A: Let's see what it is.

It looks like a Cube with some Numbers and Letters on each Side.

A: Well, that looks interesting. Do you know what it could be?
B: No Idea. But look, there is a hint on an Edge of it.

The hint says: 3-2-5-1-6

A: Hm. I've no Idea what it could is.
B: Perhaps the Users of this Forum could help us.

If you unfold the Cube it looks like the following: 

                  ------------------  
                  |                |  
                  |      7b70      |  
                  |                |  
                  ------------------  
                  |                |  
                  |      9999      |  
                  |                |  
------------------------------------------------------  
|                 |                |                 |  
|       ca66      |      4015      |       1573      |  
|                 |                |                 |  
------------------------------------------------------  
                  |                |  
                  |      3ca9      |  
                  |                |  
                  ------------------

Now you have to find the right combination for a Key you could Use.
Have fun.

"The hint says: 3-2-5-1-6" - Purpose that you missed the 4?

I am going to make up for my inability to solve this puzzle and any associated intellectual shortcomings by being a pedant and stating that the provided net would form a rectangular cuboid...not a cube as mentioned many times in the puzzle.

Thanks for the puzzle and good luck to whoever solves this. :)

I'm really lazy...

That's pretty much my intellectual shortcoming. Though strangely I can make an effort to be pedantic.

I tried my way of solving the puzzle, but got "invalid code." Would winner of this puzzle please comment saying they have so all of us aren't trying for nothing? D:
EDIT: Also I'd love to know how the winner solved it as well (:

Well. Looks like no one solved this?
I forgot to tell what Game it is. Sry for that.
It's Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor

If Anybody wants to solve this. Some more Hints:
Imagine a Dice 1W6.
3-2-5-1-6 <-- here the 4 is missing, cause the Numbers on that Side didnt belong to the Key.
Think about normal Keys, which kind of combination wouldn't be in it? This is the Side with 4 at a Dice.
If you think about everything, there should only be four possible solutions.

If i created this riddle, I thought there is only one Solution, but later i saw that it could have 4 Solutions.
If nobody wants to try out these Solutions, I could give another Hint, which helps to find only the one, correct, Combination.

The One who solved this Riddle could post the Combination.

"Imagine a Dice 1W6"
Thats what i do since i see this ;) but no solution yet

If i am correct then i know which side is 4 but i tried 8 combinations but all give me a "Invalid Product Key" on steam

I tried a normal dice which is the following but nothing

1 <-> 6

2 <-> 5

3 <-> 4

Then i tried a different one which i found in the Internet

1 <-> 5

2 <-> 6

3 <-> 4

Bump for Claim, or more likely Dup. I also tried all 8 combinations I could think of.

3ca9-1573-ca66-4015-7b70 should be the right key. 

      -----  
      | 6 |  
      -----  
      | 4 |  
 ---------------  
 | 5 || 1 || 2 |  
 ---------------  
      | 3 |  
      -----

Arw. You are right.. 8 Combinations.. ok I shouldnt try to build puzzles ^^
But if you tried all these 8 Combinations, why nothing of them worked for you? O.o
It's a key of a Site, where I got one, which worked fine for me.
If I try the Code, it only says that i allready own this Game.

Hm. It says Dup now. I looked back and checked my notes (I wrote down my process and it's the 3rd code I tried) and they're the same. The one you posted and the one I wrote down both say Dup. oh well. But it was a good puzzle, thank you for the mental work out! And codes you try will always check your library before it checks the code. I don't know of a method to check valid codes.

Solution, for anyone wondering.
9999 is highly unlikely to be part of a key, so that means it's the 4th side. Die are make so that opposing sides should add up to 7. Then if you fold up the imaginary cube, 3 is opposite the 4, then all possibilities start with 3ca9. Now although we don't know 1,2,5,6, we know that 1-6 and 2-5 are paired combos. Then there are only 8 choices (as opposed to 4^4). Randomly assign 1,2,5, and 6 to the squares following the add up to 7 rule, and then try the combos below.
3-2-5-1-6. 3-2-5-6-1. 3-5-2-1-6. 3-5-2-6-1. 3-6-1-2-5. 3-6-1-5-2. 3-1-6-2-5. 3-1-6-5-2.
