Major Fubar 0 Posted October 7, 2002 Sounds like 2 or more machines were using the same installation key code... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peose 0 Posted October 8, 2002 Yes it was the same installation key since we did this at my friends home and he has recently bought a new computer and we didnt reinstall OFP on his old. So both installations was from his cd but the cd's are valid. But I had my cd in and he had his. Is this a problem? Will it activate the FADE or not? Should we reinstall so that both has a unique cdkey during installation? /Peter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ALDEGA 0 Posted October 13, 2002 You should reinstall. You can't directly enter it in the registry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted October 13, 2002 As others have already pointed out, the value found in the Windows Registry is not a plain-text version of the key. I'm also sure that the validity of the value is checked (just like the CD Key during installation), so you can't just change a couple of characters or put in some random value without triggering FADE.

bn880 5 Posted October 13, 2002 You can back up the hashed CD key value from the registry then use it later on if you wish, it will work. Of course to get the proper sequence the CD key must be run through the OFP installer in the beginning. Hope you enjoy your lan party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
