Hi, We are distributing access to our private page via patreon access and we have activated the option for a itch.io account to be able to download our game. Our question is: How the user can download our game without claiming the key?

And when I try to do it myself I see not option to download without linking my account and then appear as claimed.

What are the users doing to be able to do this?

When you create the keys you have 2 options:

Download key can be claimed (it's optional - they can still download the game without claiming it).
Download key must be claimed (it's compulsory).

It may be that you chose the first option when creating that key.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

All keys are created automatically on demand by the Patreon access system thus not created by me using that option.
