Apparently there is a link to a German game mag site spread in the internet which leads to a page where you can create a serial for SH5.

The site explicitely states to click on the picture to create a serial number for the Gamestar full version. After generating the serial it states again it's for the Gamestar version (3/12) - a DVD copy of SH5 was included in this issue.

So if you are not the owner of the physical copy of said Gamestar DVD, you are not entitled to use the serial. Looks like the link has only been set up for this specific copy of the game: to enable the magazine buyer to get their serial. On Gamestar's main page there is no link to the serial site or a statement about giving out promo copies of Sh5.

My error then, the link was given to me by a friend of mine (who is German)
and works for a major German game company.
He asked me to pass it around, so my fault for not checking into it further.
