As long as you have not used the Mac Edition code before on that account then yes you can use it and get the month and items.

It doesn't matter which client you use. The Mac edition is simply another retail code. Anybody can add it to their account to get the goodies and the extra month, even if you don't use a Mac. As mentioned, just like any other retail code, you can only use that specific version once per account.
Okay, well, the question wasn't about the Mac/PC compatibility (I knew that already), just making sure the Items+Month thing was true. It just happens that the Mac pack is the only one I don't have yet, so it was the example that got used. Thanks!

The full rule is - excluding any extra time, if adding an edition of the game adds something to your account, it will stack (and add any game time it includes). So even if you've never used on, you will not benefit from a CoV original edition.

Someone on the forums reported that they couldn't use a standard CoV code (the original box, not the collector's edition) when the only other code on their account was a GvE code. There was another report of something blocking another code, but at the moment I don't remember what it was.

Right, if they have GvE already, then CoV wouldn't add anything to their account. So that's working just as Raj said.|

But you do make an important point. If you had both codes at your disposal, the CoV code would be used first, and then GvE.
AFAIK, even though CoH and CoV have been merged, those codes will still stack. Adding GvE on top of that will still work because it comes with exclusive in-game items. I think Architect is the only one that technically doesn't, but you do get to select between a couple booster packs afterward as well.

Like Raj said: "excluding any extra time" it (CoV) doesn't add anything to your account (if you have GvE). Therefore it shouldn't work in that order.

I can't remember where or if I heard this, but say I want the Mac edition item pack. If I already have the game, and I buy not the item pack itself but the entire Mac special edition, can I use the activation code as an upgrade code for my existing account, thus getting both the items and a month of playtime?
