Hey there!
I recently decided to install my BF 2 again- only in order to play PR. And guess what... After installing my BF 2 and then PR, it still shows me that my key is not valid. I tried repairing my key with the help of sticked topic but that didn't work. Should I reinstall PR? Any suggestions?
Cheers

Re: Serial Key not valid
Hello,
Start PRLauncher
Click Support
Click The "Copy to Clipboard" button.
Paste everything to this thread.
It will give your system specs and relevant info to troubleshoot this problem.
I believe this will fix your problem:
To fix this:
1. set your Windows date back to before March 10 2014.
2.
4. When the PRLauncher has updated to 1.1.6.0, start PR and try to join an online server to test.
5. Once you can join an online server, you can set your Windows date back to today's date.

3. Start PRLauncher, it should begin updating from 1.1.0.0 to 1.1.6.0'[R-DEV wrote:AncientMan;1972331']OK, the launcher has been updated to support Amazon style CD Keys (requires dashes in the registry), properly encrypting them in the registry, and it all works fine both in the launcher and ingame in the next version which we'll release sometime in the next 12 hours hopefully.
However, since this kind of messes up launching the game and also blocks your ability of using the updater (if you get an exception like in the first post), you will need to change your CD Key in the registry to the normal, dashless version (which of course, won't validate and work online), then download the new update when it's available and it'll fix it all up for you.
To do this, easiest way is to just delete your CD Key then re-enter it in the launcher. To delete your CD Key, you can download this program made especially for this task: http://files.ancientdev.com/prbf2/PRDeleteKey.exe
Then, when the next update hits, you then download and run the update. During the update process, the updater will fix up your CD Key in the registry so it validates, encrypts and stores it correctly to work both in the launcher and ingame.
Should then work fine and you'll have no more issues. Sounds good?
