I'm still able to play the game using the second key, and don't plan on installing on any other machines, so I guess as long as I'm more careful in the future there shouldn't be any problem. Should I just unlicense before compiling the kernel, or before any upgrade of system software (glibc, drivers, X and so on), or before any upgrade period?

ok thanks, seems that the licensing issue bugging the mac poeple are also present on Linux. That helps me as it indicates the error is prob game side, plus I can use my native Linux env to find anf fix it
If you do get stuck and need to release a stuck license you can log into your webstore account and request a manual reset. This is an emergancy proceedure and should not be used too often but will unstick your license. Though when that "re-enter serial" dialog came up you should have been able to cancel the dialog, go to game preferences and release the license from there.
