Activating keys bought in Germany in another country (Canada)

Open

Hello,

I just have a quick question concerning the activation of Steam keys. Some weeks or months ago, I purchased some games/bundles on Humblebundle from its German store website. Currently, I am in Canada and I stumbled over some of these old keys. I wondered if I can activate these keys from here (with a Candian IP) without Steam having any problems with it (due to the fact that I purchased them in GER).

Additionally, what about doing purchases in the (Canadian) Steam store? Could I just do this although the rest of my games was bought or activated with a German IP?

Lastly, I have one of these free Outlast keys from the Canadian HB store, same question - is it okay to just redeem it?

Thank you for your help. ;)

Should all work fine. You even have the keys, just trying it wouldn't hurt :)

If you're somewhere temporarily it won't change your €-store purchases or activation ... also CAN/GER is region-free
for most games with few exceptions you'll either see in your Gift-Inventory as a warning or notice when creating a gift link in hb.

the only thing that can happen that you get a censored version, nothing more

In most cases that won't even be an issue as Humble just tend to not give keys to certain regions.
