Wheres Serial Number ? for authentication ?

[Bobcat26 0]

I had this installed on my XP no problem.

I just reinstalled to my new PC with windows 7 and I need to authenticate the game through secureRom.

There was never a serial number given with the disk so how can I authenticate ?

where is the serial number its asking for ?

yes

I read through the sticky above and tried this fix that didn't help

I do not have the option for only user on step 8# , I only have users-pc-users or administrator-pc-administrator

Thanks

1, Run REGEDIT

2, Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

3, Expand Software

4, Expand Wow6432Node

5, Expand Bohemia Interactive Studio Not Bohemia Interactive

6, Click ArmA 2 OA, If you only see 1 file named "(Default)" And type REG_SZ then,

7, Right click the ArmA 2 OA file and go to Permissions

8, Left click YOUR USER, NOT! Users

9, After selecting your user click on Advanced

10, Yet Again click on your username for your pc and click on edit

11, In the drop down menu select This Key and Subkeys

12, You will see allow and deny make sure all allow boxes are ticked then click ok

13, you will be taken back one Dialogue box, Click Apply and OK and the same again on the

next dialogue box.

14, Now you should see 4 files sat in your ArmA 2 OA folder, Names, "(Default)" "Data" "Key" & "main"

15, Now play your game hassle free

Of course there is a serial. Did you check the manual ?

If the game came without a serial how would you be able play MP, and what about DRM?

you must be referring to the installation key , its asking for a serial number not the installation key.

correct ?

Installation key, serial number, cd key, activation key - all one and the same thing, just called differently.

And if I were you I would fix my signature which is way over the allowed 600x150 px ;)

My disk version came only with one serial. Input the serial to all prompts.
