Need a Battlefield 1942 Key to activate the game in Origin

Hi drawxy,

Where are you required to enter a key for the new Battlefield 1942?

As far as I tested it myself, you just need to download the game via Origin and then it should be ready to play.

We are getting an 'Invalid Key' error, when joining EA servers on internet Multiplayer. In the old version of BF1942, to sort this out we'd boot up Battlefield 1942_Code.exe to input the key, however for me on Win7 Ultimate x64, this application will not boot up, and apparantly ONLY accepts numbers for serial key too.

Origin currently issues BF1942 keys with letters, as well as numbers.

If I click on "download" I have to launch origin, then to log in. After I have to "activate the product"or to leave. I choose to activate it but I need a serial key.

Hi clivewil2 and drawxy,

Could I ask you to try it directly from within the Origin client again, please?

Launch Origin, go to the store, click on Demos at the top bar and then on the "Get it now" button. From my own experience this should add the game to your library without any further complications.

Please let me know if this works.

Thanks.

Hi liquidustalon,

The Studio and the Origin team are looking into this right now, we will update you when we have more information at hand. In the meantime, and if you are a bit tech-savy, you might want to try the workaround posted by ston3cold in this thread: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-1942/Battlefield-1942-Invalid-Serial-Key/m-p/175664#M50

Thank you for your patience.

Still doesn't work - have lauched in origin, from sdesktop etc. Have activated key in library but still invalid CD Key. As it's free I'll be patient!

Hey,

I can't download the game becouse Origin wants to check if I got a serial for the game. But I dont have any since its for a free download. What do I do?

Hi cycrovv,

I've merged your post into this thread.

Let me know how it goes. Thanks.
