So I bought a special edition of Prison Architect, but I don't know how to activate the code. Do I have to enter the code somewhere in the game? or somewhere else? I have the 'Prison Architect Name in Game Edition Key'. Does the key not work after a certain date?

Update for version 2
As of version two this is now possible! When creating a new prison you need to check the box marked "Enable cheats". This:
- Makes all construction instantaneous
- Adds a "spawn" menu that allows you to place anything for free
- Allows you to speed up research by holding the right mouse button down on the icon
- Allows you to place water
More useful for developers (excluding F11, which has general use) are the function keys:
- F1 Edit world properties (Very easy to crash/ruin the game)
- F2 Profiler
- F3 Script Debugger
- F4 Dialog Editor
- F5 Sound Editor
- F6 Sprite Bank Editor for Needs icons
- F7 Sprite Bank Editor for User Interface icons
- F8 Sprite Bank Editor for Game Sprites
- F9 Debug rendering options
- F11 Enlarge Map in All Directions
For prisons without cheat mode enabled
For prisons created before V2 or created with cheats disabled, modders have been hard at work creating their own similar system. This can be installed through the steam workshop.
This sounds like you've had a corrupted install. Right click on the game in Steam, select Properties, then Local Files, and finally Verify Integrity of Game Cache at the bottom of the group of buttons you'll see.
If that fails to resolve the issue, right-click on the game again and try opening in safe mode. If you continue to have issues, it would probably be more helpful to report them directly to the developer, as the game is still in Alpha.

Best Answer
If you are looking for the benefits that come with the "your name in the game" portion of your key, you need to follow the instructions in this link. Upshot is, you need to contact the developers and they will work your request.
Otherwise, your key is activated on Steam and has given you the game (and after a check of the product page, should have given you all of Introversion's other titles as well), and that should be all it does on Steam.
