External Keys for "No Payments" Software

I would like to give-away Oculus Keys for a free game with Itch.Io - am I right to assume this is not possible?  In my case I can not use the option "0.00 or donate" (because it is for a non-profit organization which can't allow payments).

Thanks in advance!

It's probably not a great idea, since one person could just request all of your keys.

Yes, that is right. I was hoping itch.io might have something  in place like checking the IP or delaying the key claiming. And as I can create keys in bulk I would not really mind someone spending hours to claim a few hundred keys.

Is there some reason you can't just set it as free on the Oculus store? You could set up your own web page with a captcha if you wanted (let me know if you want help with that). I'm not sure what kind of protections Itch would give you, it doesn't really seem like it's built for that.

Hi William, thanks and I guess that is the way to go then. I was hoping for some existing solution as my web development skills are close to not existing :)
