Re: verification of the date of release has error there during the validity date

I tried EA_David's suggestion above, and it worked. However, could you make the information a 'sticky' and post it more prominently. I downloaded and installed the Patch (1.04), and validation was very easy. I would point out though that I did have to make numerous attempts as I kept getting 'Error: ty again later' messages. I persevered, and now appear to have a working game.
