I'm talking about the serial number not the CD key. I already put the CD key in during the installation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted July 21, 2012 Serial number is the CD Key. That error if steam is because it's not run as administrator, twice you've failed to mention which version of the game you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you should open your eyes and read the thread title you person you. ---------- Post added at 21:56 ---------- Previous post was at 21:45 ---------- I put the cd key in where it asks for the serial number and it says: 1. Activation process has been terminated The SERIAL was not found in the database. Most likely the SERIAL has been entered incorrectly. Press 'Back' to retry activating (please verify the correct input of the SERIAL) or click 'Cancel' to abort. If the problem persists, please visit our support homepage for possible solutions: https://support.securom.com/PAunlock/?c=1200 Then it gives me the option to manually activate and I hit that then it says...... 2. An online activation can not be performed. Please contact your software vendor to manually retrieve your unlock code. Please make sure, that you have prepared the following information: -Registration Code (Serial number) -Unlock request code which is displayed below. Please visit our support homepage for possible solutions: https://support.securom.com/PAunlock/?c=1000 Then it says unlock requestcode: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Unlock Code: (blank space for me to enter it) serial: (blank space for me to enter it) ---------- Post added at 22:03 ---------- Previous post was at 21:56 ---------- I just had an epiphany. How about instead of calling a cd key a serial number, installation key, and registration code at different times during the installation process. We just call it what its real name is which is a cd key. Crazy right? So how do I fix this outrageous, crazy, insane, rediculous problem I'm having? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
