I found the repair instructions. After doing what I was required to do. I tried to multiplay again and it said invalid cd key again. Please Help!!! My serial key that was used is,,,
AWSA-BJ4K-B7Z9-ZYV8-VSMM,,, again,,I know you guys know what's up,,,don't make me guess as usual.
Indeed remove your Key, As for your issue it is a known problem that newly created CD keys in origin don't work with the old account system for BF2 also Origin doesn't recognize old CD keys so if you have an older boxed retail copy of BF2 Origin wont detect the key as a legit key.
So you need to request support directly with origin staff and they will work through all the pogo accounts and stuff to correctly setup Battlefield you unfortunately won't find much support on these forums since they need to speak with you one on one.
There should be a ticket support system within Origin or even email support.
If you have Windows 7 this solution may help:
1 Install your CD-key in the registry. This is described in one of EA😕 help-articles. Google on "BF2 invalid CD key". I found out that you must input the CD-key WITHOUT hyphens!
2 Set the BF2.exe file to run in compatibility mode. Select XP SP3 and check "Run as administrator".
Note that you must do all these changes with administrative rights in Windows.
After that you should be able to connect to servers. But you may still be kicked by Punkbuster! So you have to update Punkbuster. Google on "Punkbuster update" and follow instructions you find.
I think all these problems occur because Origin has not adapted the install routine to Windows 7. (Or Windows 8...) The install works in Windows XP.
