If you purchased it before a certain date, yes. You also get beta access. I can't remember what the date was. October 2010 maybe?

Reportedly the game will appear in your stardock account page and you will also get an email notifying you of your beta access. Unlocks are being done in waves. That's still on-going - or I hope it is because I still haven't had the email and the game has not appeared in my account.
