The solution to the matter is to completely uninstall Securom 's files :
The Securom mail to remove and solve this problem :
"
Hello.
Thank you for your email.
You can remove all SecuROM related files, folders and registry keys if
desired.
To manually remove SecuROM related files, folders and registry keys:
SecuROM has different authentication features which each publisher can choose
to use. The two most popular features are the disc check and product
activation. SecuROM features are used for every title individually. This means
you can have two games with different SecuROM versions installed.
During launch, SecuROM unpacks the files it needs to operate correctly.
Please find attached the SecuROM components.pdf which is a list of the files
and registry keys typically stored on a Windows PC when using a SecuROM
protected application.
If you have a SecuROM protected executable, you can run it with 2 parameters
to remove files (it's similar to what the SecuROM Uninstaller tool does).
game.exe /uninstall
This removes all SecuROM files, unless they are not locked by any other
process. For example, certain software installed on your PC may interfere
with the uninstaller (e.g., security tools which prevent modifications of the
registry, windows explorer locking files, et.).
The following files are deleted:
- CmdLineExt.dll (in your Windows\system32\ folder) + the Windows registry
entry for it: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\CmdLineExt
- drm_dyndat_*.dll (one or more files; * stands for several digits) (in your
temp folder)
- drm_dialogs.dll (in your temp folder)
- SecuExp.exe (in your temp folder)
game.exe /fulluninstall
This is what the standalone SecuROM Uninstaller does as well. It deletes the
files like the /uninstall parameter above and in addition looks up the DRM
license settings and if possible deletes them as well (if they are
uncritical).
The SecuROM uninstaller has two states for the DRM data (license settings):
1) uncritical - the registry key and the folder are both deleted
2) critical - if you have an online activation stored in the DRM data, you
would lose one of your activations, therefore we don't delete it. The second
type of critical DRM data is when SecuROM product activation is combined with
a trial period of a game. This case is very rare.
If in your case the DRM data can't be deleted by the SecuROM Uninstaller it
might be that they contain your online activation of the game. This data is
stored on 2 places:
- The hidden SecuROM directory in your user folder
Windows 2000/XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Application data\SecuROM\UserData
Windows Vista 32/64 Bit:
C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\SecuROM\UserData
Windows 98SE/ME:
C:\WINDOWS\Profiles\<USER>\Applicationdata\SecuROM\UserData
- In the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SecuROM
Note, the DRM data are not running processes, they are simply the storage of
your Activation license.
To remove the DRM data you have to first revoke the application. Run the game
executable with the parameter /revoke to start this process (please note that
not all PC games support this feature as it is up to the publisher to decide
whether or not to implement the revocation functionality offered by SecuROM).
Uninstalling the SecuROM protected application removes the SecuROM wrapper
around the executable.
Complete removal of unpacked SecuROM files and folders:
This means, if you run game.exe /uninstall and it runs fine, all SecuROM files
and folders are removed (except for the DRM data).
If you run game.exe /fulluninstall or the standalone SecuROM Uninstaller and
it quits without an error, all files + the DRM data are deleted.
Important: If you launch a SecuROM protected executable after the uninstall,
all SecuROM files, folders and registry keys are restored since they are
required for the launch of the application. You also have to activate your
game again if you deleted the critical DRM data.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

No CD crack is an absurdity if it's legal.
you have to wait an other man to do something legal, on top of that this man isn't from the development of the game.
Why put a DVD detector if it's useless and boring?
Why Bohemia choose an USA security which is like nuchlear bomb when the Russians have the most important community of hackers in the word (I have heard of that)?
I think they should be more effective in computer security for that Russian's ambiant game's, more than the far US. almost because it is the spirit of the game, I don't think Chernarussian want an US Security for them all life, aren't they?
Why not try a Russian security for fun ^^.
Sorry for my approximativly english again I try to do my best :P

I try another time to uninstall the game, then use Securom removal tool.
I install the arma 2 game and this time I tick install for all players on the computer and
at the end of installation I tick lunch the game directly.
It works ^^.
I lunched again the game with manualy executable it don't works. :(
So I can't play after the installation and all my games automatics lunch are down. :(
-
Uses NoRailGamer web link to find revoke.exe
So I tried to remove securom with the removal tool.
It clean my register.
The game is installed but it don't want to lunch.
I must have an answer of Securom I think for activate once again the key.
This Security is very bad.
---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------
I wanted to try my other games on my computer and now all the autoruns don't start!!!
i only can start my farcry 2, War hammer and all other games manualy!
I am thinking of bombing Securom office! realy!
Why this very bad choice Bohemia?
-
I see that you have Windows 7.
If you format your HDD with all games in Securom will ban you because the key is already in use.
You must uninstall by windows before format the HDD.
You have to put DVD every time and at long buy another DVD after one year of full gaming.
If you do a bad manipulation like me you are ban.
If you are in a lan party you have to bring all the DVD for every one and every games.
A hacker take a week to make a software to pass through, the real consommer take one month to have money to pay a new game *exegrating a little, an can play if he don't make a mistake of use again.
Securom kill the game for those who bought the game, not for illegals people who have a better gaming live and experience without security and having noCD.
The securom removal tool is only in the case where you erase the game without Windows software uninstall. In this case I tried it and it didn't work.
I see a second program for removal tool, ok I trie it to...
It remove Securom from my regedit ^^ nice shot soldier XD (so I took removaltool.exe not revokearma2 Norailgunner ;) it was where I failed)
I try to install the game on only one computer...
-
I repeat, I didn't want to hack the game.
I bought a DVD Arma 2 thinking it works like console games for several persons for one DVD. Then I install it with my legal key on my two lan PC.
When I wanted to play then there was wrote key already in use.
since this time, nothing can do the game works.
I uninstall properly on the two PC and install on a single computer but the twice registers were poluted by securom non erasable folders.
On top of that when I tried to play to Arma 2 on lan with the demo i downloaded, I could play on the two PC without two different demo downloaded!
i am not thinking illegal!
-
I think that the steam protection is realy better but I don't have a good connection 1Mb/s
So it take me to long time to download more than 8 Go. If only they have gived the possibility to have a DVD version of what we download on steam ^^.
I have done a bad manipulation with Securom and now after installing on 2 computers with one DVD I must purchase 2 others DVD if I want to play again.
It couldn't appear with Steam security and I just want to play on my personal two computers lan.
I am waiting a response from Securom since saturday.
505 games say that's illegal so they can stop the contract when they want.
So I don't want to buy another Securom game anymore and waiting Bohemia to remove Securom.
I saw petitions against Securom in games on 5 web french gamers forum and I see that EA games don't want securom anymore too. Why choose this one?
-
To completly remove Securom we have to uninstall all games with Securom.
Then contact Sony on them website :
http://www.securom.com/support.asp
Then they give us the way to remove completly Securom.
What a long way o_O
I send a message to securom with all they wants like arma 2 detection problem software from Sony Securom.
I wait for what they say.
May be I will have an answer this week.
It is very boring to make all these things,
I don't think to play with a Securom game in my life again. This is legal I think.
I saw five french forums of gamers which have made petitions to eradicate Securom of the games.
EA games don't want anymore Securom in there games too.
-
I found where is the matter I think.
When you uninstall the game, Securom keep in register a folder name Securom :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SECUROM
In this, especialy, there is a folder name "License Information" that can't be remove at all. other folder can be manually removed after uninstall.
The erase of the maximum Securom register folder cause the autoexec of the game works fine but when launching the game there is no reaction at all.
So I believe that the game watch the last folder "License Information".
I am administrator of my PC, I think it isn't quite well.
Don't having the right to manipulate all files of my computer is a legal way?
-
For french peoples where am I,
Securom is like a nuchlear bomb killing players and the game to avoid hachers which go throwth in one week.
Just listen to the communoty gamers for your choice of security please.
Thanks.
P.S.: I think you can sell minimum 20% better without securom ^^
Put another security whith less restriction if you want ^^
-
I tried to uninstall one time again on the only computer installed.
uninstall all personnal arma 2 documents.
cut inter and intra net connexion of Arma 2 with my firewall.
The autoexec of the DVD don't want to lunch.
The setup of the DVD is lunching and I enter my CD KEY.
The install finish.
I click on the shortcut it seems to lunch and nothing appeer.
*Securom is realy a big cheat* Thinking.
*Why have you chose securom* sighs.
...
---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 AM ----------
I have visited french forums for solution on this problem and I saw that all men using or not securom think like me: It is not a secuity it's a big cheat.
Like a nuchlear bomb killing all players and the game to avoid hackers.
What are your point of vue in US with Securom?
Do you listen really to your communoty gamers to choose Securom?
-
Sunday and Securom don't answer my message.
I am thinking to play freesbi with my new DVD.
-
lol XD
Your argument is like the army :
You quote the rules so you you are going to be in cheat for long time like we say in France ^^
-
Ok but I have just buy the game and now it is out of order, must I buy an other game?
Is it legal this on PC dislike on console where we play with every one on a single game?
I try to uninstall the two games and reinstall properly the game on only one PC, nothing can do it???
---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------
I can't play with my DVD the game don't want to lunch now.
Nobody wants help me?
My father says that in France where I am just, only a judge, professional of the law, can take the game (look Hadopi law). So why the game can't work?
Can I play again faster? I think you are very not in law like you pretend!
I am very disapointed and don't like your reaction!
I am thinking not to by again a Bohemia game, and post on forums like Securom users who are like me I think now!

Hello,
I have just buy arma 2 and install it on my computer and the computer of my father.
When I lunched the game on the second computer there was a message that say the CD key is already in use.

On console I can play with my father with one DVD.
After that I can't neither play on my computer nor on my father computer.
Please help me.

To remove Securom files if you have the same mater as me (Key already exist when trying to play lan with 1 DVD and the game loked on both computer) and you want to solve it:
You have to remove all securom's files. The Securom's team ask me to do this and it works. In my case I have uninstall with windows, revoke.exe to be sure for my keys, than remove.exe to uninstall regedit Securom, than remove manually the lasts files on "regedit" and "AppdData" folder. What a barbarian way! lol ^^.

I play on arma 2 now on my 2 PC, but I block Lan access with my firewall to be sure I can play without any matter and I play the campaign solo only on one computer and the other is for multi internet. I don't play lan because of Securom.
