Command and conquer General - 2 PC with 2 origins accounts - SERAL ERROR

Question

HelloI got 2 ORIGINS accounts so that I can install the the game on 2 machines and plya in network mode....After a bit of try and error, I found a config that worked... meaning that the 2 computers were seeing each other, and I could create a game on one achine and join the game on the other machine.But when I happilly started the game, I got an error message: SERIAL NUMBER IS ALREADY IS USE.So 2 different origins acocunts with 2 independently purchases give me the same serial number ?Can anybody help me out ?&nbsp;MANY THANKSCheersNick

Answer

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 -&gt; SOFTWARE -&gt; Wow6432Node -&gt; Electronic Arts -&gt; EA Games -&gt; Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour -&gt; ergc&nbsp; [or something along those lines, it may be slightly different for TUC].

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

5. Now try playing
