I think you may struggle with activation, DoW2 registers via Steam so you need your own serial key.

Funnily enough dispute picking up an expansion to DoW2 at Games Day, I haven't toughed it in years. I got the expansion for a free t-shirt (which I could wear should I lose a few stones) but the cloth bag I got with it, is actually proving useful to store the mac in the weekend.
Star Wars Legion - Rebels
Guildball - Alchemists
Blood Bowl - Lizardmen

I got DoW2 most recently and although I have played through and completed two of the campaigns I have to say it left me somewhat bored by the end. I found every mission to be basically exactly the same and the end of mission bosses were just plain stupid. They had no reason to be so massively more powerful than your own Marines, yet they had like 20 - 100 times the health of your Force Commander or worse. I found them very frustrating because that's just the typical "noob" method of making an enemy hard to defeat. I also found the unit options a bit dull and I didn't like the non-codex unit sizes. Three man space marine squads? Not right.
I have to say DoW1 was the better game IMHO.
Must say i disagree, i love the small unit tactical micro-management that the sequal demands, and its awesome in CO-OP imo. But each to there own i guess . dont forget last stand either, its super addictive ^^
Ahh, now you see I've only played it single player, so maybe that's where the problem lies...
