Alas, you may have an old copy of the disc. You will not be able to play Spore via disc. I myself recently wanted to install spore from a .iso disk image since I didn't have a disk. I installed the game, my digital key came up, but I got the same error as yours. I'm sorry, but the Spore authentication servers have closed. I recently purchased a Spore Galactic Edition and this starterpack contains a game disc. I purchased the game from the seller, not from the store. There are only 3 downloads of the game from disk. The seller has already installed the game 2 times. I only had 1 time to install the game. I will soon install the game on a Windows XP computer. But I have it under repair.

I'm trying to get this game to work on a Windows XP machine as well. I used my own key, and even tried the same disc out in a modern computer. The activation service is not down, but it refuses to detect a connection on my XP machine and won't launch.
