CnC Zero Hour Serial Key not valid
I install my copy of CnC Zero Hour from my first decade disk with no problems. When I try to play multiplayer online I get a message stating that my serial key is invalid. I do not know what the problem is since this is my cd key right out of the box. Is there a way to get and change the key to one that will work to play online?

Don't listen to Methuselah, EA tech support will most likely be useless. Try this instead:
1.On your windows machine click on start and in the (Search for programs and files) box type in regedit and open regedit.exe
2. Next click on the little arrow next to the folder named HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and make your way to ergc directory the full path is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Wow6432Node -> Electronic Arts -> EA Games -> Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour -> ergc
Note: If you cannot find Wow6432Node then ignore it and procees to Electronic Arts -> EA Games Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour -> ergc. Thanks to Khalilz for pointing this out.
3. Click on the ergc directory and right click on Default (located on the right side under Name) and Modify it.
4. Now simply add the - between the serial numbers.Write it exactly how its written on the game you bought. if you notice It only displays your serial number without the - between the code so you will just need to add them in
for example change it from 123A5678B8CDD3D3P0P0 to 123A-5678-B8CD-D3D3-P0P0 now try playing the same you should be able to play it online
