Did you save the download from the other computer or the installed files?

What operating system does your old and new computers use?

I seem to recall that when I bought the download version (the only version available at the time) it was possible to pay a bit extra for multiple downloads - did you take that option? If you didn't then you would have to pay for another download. I've subsequently bought RTW Alex on the White Label and also RTW Gold II.

I m on a vistra system, and i have the original download luncher, so i download it and then it start extract, after the extract nothing shows up because usually some type of installing screen shows up but now nothing shows up.

You need to understand more about Vista before you start installing software (it's different than WIndows XP).

I've posted some links in your other thread about trying to apply the mod that makes all factions available.

Have a read of that before proceeding.

It's all about User Access Control (UAC) and where you've installed the game (folder wise).

I turned the UAC off and i installed it but when i try to get in the game it said this "This key has already been activated on the maximum number of computers. If you believe this is mistaken, please contact customer service via email at networkcs@digitalriver.com and reference code ARM1023.

Explanation: The program has run into a permanent error while trying to retrieve your key. Please contact customer service via email at networkcs@digitalriver.com if you feel this is incorrect. This program will revert to trial mode (if it has one) until your key is successfully installed." so what do i do now?

Which means you got what you paid for. If you cannot search your computer, find that key (odds are in your registry) and delete it successfully, you will be doing business with digitalriver or go buy the retail version. Me? I'd go buy the disc and end the hassle.

Well does anyone know any website that i can get a cd key and i dont think anywhere have the disk?

Any website that's going to give you that sort of information is likely to be doing it illegally, and no TWc'er worth their salt is going to discuss that here.

Why not bite the bullet and go buy it on disc? I've just seen it advertised on Amazon for as little as 4 GBP! It'll mean less hassle for you in the long run and you'll have it to install wherever and whenever you like. Surely it's worth less than the price of a couple of drinks for that.

This kind of talk can and probably will get this thread closed. Buy the disc.

**hocha1** · September 10, 2008, 05:53 PM

i cant buy the disk no local store even has it, and the english website you given me is in UK shippen probably would cost more than the game along, and is there any site i can contact to get my old cd key back? or anywhere to retreieve it.

**hocha1** · September 11, 2008, 05:12 PM

Alright im sorry guys, but thanks for you guy's help i really apperciate it.

**~~Tony83~~** · September 11, 2008, 05:57 PM

Good luck mate. I hope you get something sorted out.

**Mathais** · September 11, 2008, 11:05 PM

Man if was you I would just buy the disc for I was in the same boat as you it is not worth the hassel. I know there is a uk amazon you can buy it from.
