my desura keys all came as one activation code per bundle. i know i used at least 3 different emails over the time. i also gave some steam keys to my missus as they were something she was after then i just had the same game on the desura key. i always used the same paypal though. we are both on the same ip as well.

They've been doing this since they started the Indie Royale. If you weren't aware, Indie Royale is run by Desura and IndieGames.com
I believe the only way to get around this is to purchase the bundle without being logged into an Indie Royale account.

Since I didn't found this information anywhere around here and it could be interesting for gifters and traders, so I thought I'm gonna post it.
If you buy an Indie Royale Bundle with an E-Mail which also belongs to a Desura Account (Still a bit unsure about this), the Desura Key can only be redeemed on this specific Account. If another account tries to activate it, it shows up this message:
"The The Snow Storm Bundle gift you are trying to accept has been sent to the member /DesuraNameOfBuyer/. You will need to contact the person who sent you the gift and see if they have another copy to gift you."
Although I know this part of the F.A.Q.,:
Can I share games / bundle / Desura keys if I already own a game in the bundle?
Indie Royale bundles are strictly for personal use only. Sharing Steam keys because you already own a game in the bundle is not allowed. The same applies for Desura keys. If your friend wants a bundle you should gift them or they can purchase it themselves.
The idea behind Indie Royale bundles is to support indie games, we always offer excellent games at a price you cannot beat - so please recognize this and support the developers participating by buying your own bundle.
I was still a bit suprised that they actually put a lock on it to avoid it.
After contacting support, how I can redeem the key on my new Desura account, since my older one which its locked to is no longer in use, they offered me to merge the 2 accounts. So it seems that there's no way to avoid the lock.
PS: No the Desura key was not used before and is not auto-activated on the reference account.
