 Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2005 3:49 am Post subject: Neverwinter Nights CD-Key (got a used copy) |
 |
|
Hi, I've got a used copy of NWN. $20 good deal. OK.
Than I emerged the game (with nowin nocd flags) and started it up. It took me to the CD-Key screen, and I enetered my key, pressed OK, and than it just cleared the fields. That's it -- no error message no nothing. I tried a bogus CD-Key and got a 'invalid key' message. So the game does see that this is a used key, yet does nothing about it... any suggestions? Could the fact that it is a used copy (hance key can be in their DB) be a factor?
thanks,
Victor |

Afaik it doesn't go out onto the net to search a db. I've installed the game without an internet connection before although I used a legit key.  You know, for $5 more you might have been able to get the game and all the expansions depending on where you live. |

Hi,
I've got the same error. But I did not have the write access to the NWN folder in /opt. Make sure you are in the right group and the group has write access. |

To play online though you have to use your key to register an account, which is why I didn't get a used copy. |

I've always had to enter my Serial twice to get it to go through, and I use the platinum edition. Try entering it twice in a row.

I wasn't saying anything about a used copy. Talking only retail. Glad the OP got it working though. Permission problems are a pain. |

Make a backup of nwncdkey.ini and the next time you should (re)install nwn, put it back in the nwn-folder. Saves some pain
