A question regarding purchasing KSP from KSPStore

[RockyTV]

I have a quick question. I received my Kerbal Space Program copy from a friend, and it was purchased on the KSPStore. However, I want to activate KSP on Steam. Is that possible, using the copy my friend gave to me? If not, are there any workarounds? Cause I really want to test this QA Branch out.

and I don't think so because I tryed to do that to

No, my friend bought it on the KSPStore and gifted it to me.

I'm afraid this is not possible. Steam purchases and store purchases are not interchangeable.

However, I am not clear about what you are saying about QA. Pre-release QA testing is done by people who have applied to be on the team. If you are not on that team, you would not have access to QA testing no matter where you acquired your copy of the game.

Ah, I thought it was open for everyone who wanted to test it.

They used to do that, RockyTV, but got too much feedback, and most of it was not of useful quality. So now they limit testing to people who have applied and been selected for their reliability and communication skills. Squad asks for applicants from time to time, if you'd still like to contribute.
