[olsonK 0]

When I try and Install the" European 1.05 patch and error message will come up saying "Wrong CD Key". What is this and what do I do?

How about giving us more information?

For example which version of ArmA do you have and where did you bought it (online or DVD etc).

I got the game off my buddy since his pc cant handle it. Its unpatched version, the very first relase.

When patching do I have to go in order, like 1.00 to 1.02 to 1.03?

Hi olsonK

Where did your budy buy his copy of ArmA from? You just need to ask your buddy. We need to know if it was bought by online download or DVD etc.

He bought it. I think its the chez version, cant read any thing.

If it's the CZ version you need to download and install the "International Patch".

The European Patch is only for the european version by 505 games.

I tried it with that patch as well and I am still getting the "Wrong CD kry" message.

OK, I'm just guessing here now but maybe your friend was spreading the serial a bit too often?

Contact BI Support at support@bistudio.com, they are able to sort that issue faster and better then we.

Hi olsonK

If you are the new legal owner of the DVD and license you should have no problems.

Clearly every DVD and license has only one owner.

You just need to make clear that you are said owner of the DVD and license.

Just contact support@bistudio.com they will talk you through what you need to do to establish that you are now the owner of the DVD and license.

Generaly speaking it is always better to get your DVDs straight from a reputable retailer. 2nd hand is obviously risky.

Thank you every one for you help. I have sent an email and am hoping for the best.

On a quick note, how am I going to prove that im the owner? Do I have to get a camara an take a pic of te cds and send it?

Hmm im not sure, but so long as u've got the CD case, manual and disc with you that should be all you need to prove it. Im not sure of the process but u might have to take photos or something, so long as u own the disc there should be no problem in determining you as the legal owner
