CD-Key Invalid

[SCE_BloodyStars]

Hey guys I run windows 7 64 bit on a microsoft stuidos xps,

I was playing PR last night with no problem, this morning when I log on and try to connect to any server it's telling me I have an invalid CD-Key for some reason. Any help?

Thanks in advance

DO you own a legal license key?

We need more info.
What type of BF2 did you buy? Steam, EA Origin, Retail Package, etc.?

Below is another way to do this:


quick test:
Battlefield 2 - Invalid CDKey Fix - Page 13 - Steam Users' Forums
IF all fails [Windows 7 and Windows Vista Solution]

Open up regedit (Win + R, type "regedit" and hit the enter). Browse to the registry keys of Battlefield 2. On 32-bit systems, this is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2\. On 64-bit systems, it's HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2\.

Inside Battlefield 2 , you should see ergc.
Then there is one value inside that folder.
It says x9392AND-SO-ON.
Go to steam and right click Battlefield 2 and click View Game cd key
and copy it.
Paste it after the x9392.
Do the same with Special Forces.
Use dotDev's installscript.vdf found here http://germandarknes.net/content/BF2FixdotDev.zip

4. Play Game

Just checked pbbans and you don't appear to be globally banned - so the issue must be local
