Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Multiplayer LAN

Me and my dad both have Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour on two different Origin accounts on two different computers, but when we try to join one game together, on the same internet under the LAN setting, it pops up a message about "serial already in use" what does this mean? we have separate accounts, and entered different things in for our accounts. How can you join a LAN world if it won't let you because you are connected to the same internet?

    I'm assuming the Origin installer doesn't ask you for a serial? So they probably have a master serial key for all installations of Generals, hence the issue.

    I suggest finding a keygen or some valid serial keys online, and changing the installed serial key via the registry.

    Change both Generals and ZH keys so they're different for all players, then try and play. Let me know how that goes.

    I tried this too and it still doesn't work... We even tried using a we even tried using a wireless LAN not connected to the internet. So same issue: 2 diff origin accounts, 2 diff computers, 2 diff installs, windows 10 (which might be the problem in and if itself)
