The PRLauncher has a two things to help us here,
You already posted your info, thanks for that,
1. Go to Support tab, click the 'copy to clipboard' button, then paste everything in this thread. The Specs report includes the CDKey= True or CDKey = False

Try this:
2. Go to Support tab, then the Keys tab, and copy your PB GUID.
then go here:
PBBans | MBi - Ban Search
and pastre your GUID ID on top, select the battlefield 2 game, type in the Captcha, and search if your CDKey has been banned.

When and where did you buy your BF2 CDKey?
Is it Steam, Origin, Retail DVD, etc?

It's an Amazon digital download, purchased about two weeks ago.

I'm not at my desktop right now (work) but the specs reads CDKey = False.

I have searched for my PB GUID, there are no active bans on my CD Key.

[LITOralis.nMd]

Unfortunately, you are not the only person who bought from Amazon this month and was sold a banned CDKey.

GO check your PB GUID to make sure it's not banned, then you'll have to contact Amazon (which has been pretty hit or miss and takes days), or EA Support (preferred method), and get a replacement CDKey. Have your proof of purchase on hand, and act rightfully indignant.

It's been a problem with Amazon BF2 digital downloads for several years now:
Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Battlefield 2 Complete Collection [Download]

EA Support: http://eahelp.ea.com/en/battlefield/battlefield-2/

Thank you for your rapid response. I have contacted EA Games. They confirmed that the code was invalid (meaning Amazon sent me an invalid CD Key) but said they could not help me further.

I'm talking to Amazon support now, I'll update with details.

edit: Okay, just got off the phone with Amazon. They gave me a new CD key, which also did not work. I asked for a refund and then just downloaded a new version from EA Origin. Problem solved.

So they gave you an Origin activation code for BF2 ??

[leesamuel]

No, I got a refund from Amazon and then purchased a new CD key from Origin.

[Daniel]

That was the right choice.
