mjkmjk96 1 Posted December 21, 2012 I have Arma 2 installed on my computer from my friends account. I decided to buy my own copy, when I tried to play it says "bad serial number given in setup". I then checked the serial key on my computer and the serial key on my friends computer and there the same. I would appreciate any help in changing the serial key to my serial key.

maddogx 13 Posted December 21, 2012 Uninstall your friend's copy, check the registry and remove all Arma2 entries (if there are any left), install your copy of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 21, 2012 No idea why you decided the BI in general forum section was a good place to post your question. Also, please search before posting, there is a sticky for your error message which a simple forum search would have revealed. §7) Search before postingIf you have a question, please use the forum search function before posting to make sure that it hasn't been answered before. There is a big chance it has, not only does searching help to keep the forum free of multiple threads it will also help you to get an answer much quicker. §8) Post in the right forum & right thread Please ensure you make new threads in the correct forum, if you're unsure of which forum to post in feel free to ask a moderator. If a thread exists for the topic you wish to post about you must use it, for example all ACE questions belong in the ACE thread. All addon/mod questions belong in the thread for that addon/mod. In the case of DayZ discussions they should be posted on the DayZ forums, this includes problems with the Modification. The troubleshooting forum is not for problems with Addons and Mods!
