  • Invalid CD Key Help?

    Hey guys.

    I know there is already a thread on this, but all I can see is "LOL OWNED " which is kind of annoying.

    Well I installed BF2142 with my disc and I used my friends CD Key because I thought it would work. It evidently said when I tried to login "This CD Key is being used on another PC"

    I then went off and un-installed BF2142 and then bought the Deluxe Package from EA Games. I downloaded it and when I went to create and account, it said "Invalid CD Key" even though it sent alot of emails to my Email Address. I tried to login with my friends account "Invalid CD Key".

    I then went off and googled this issue and I did all the steps EA told me, still having the same issue. I did the whole Regedit thing and it still does not work, could someone please tell me whats going on?

    I also installed it again. Still didn't work.

      It's not...I purchased it from EA Games the website. I downloaded BF2142. There is a thread "Invalid CD Key Fix" but it's been screwed with.

            So you bought it off of EA yeah? I would think that the regedit process might be a little bit different, anyways I suggest you try YourUninstaller 2009, it uninstalls a program COMPLETLEY leaving nothing behind, hape that helps.

                Had the same problem.
                So i just went and bought another copy (2142 is on sale right now) and installed it without any problem.
                Just to confirm that the first game had wrong CD-key i tried to install it on another computer and to my surprise the CD-key works! So now i have three copys installed on three computers back home.
