Product Key

hi im sorry to be a bother because im sure there is a better place for this thread however i have just bought a new laptop and i want to install my football manager 09 on this. I worked perfectly fine on my PC however i have typed in the product key found on the back of the booklet inside yet it says that i have entered a invalid key could anyone help me with this and say why this may be happening? Many thanks.

Are you sure you are typing in the right code?

Number 1 could easily be mistaken for Letter I, and Number 0 could easily be seen as Letter O.

i have just sorted the key problem now it is saying it cannot connect to the interney even though i am clearly connected could this because im wireless?

Try the below workaround mate:

You receive the ‘Error: Application was unable to connect to the internet. Please check your connection.’

Fix:

1) Open IE and go to: https://fm2009.sa01.softanchorinsight.com

2) Here if you are using IE7 it will prompt you – “There is a problem with this website’s security certificate.”

3) Next, Click – “Continue to this website (not recommended)”. However – this is okay, it is safe.

4) Look up top at your IE address bar – you will see “Certificate Error”. Click this box, then click “View Certificates”.

5) Press, “Install Certificate…”

6) Select the “Place all certificates in the following store”.

7) Press “Browse”

8) Select “Trusted Root Certificate Authorities”. Not this will install the Go Daddy (a reputable) certificate into your trusted root certificate authorities if it is not there.

9) Press OK

10) Press Next

11) Press Finish

Close IE, then Reopen it and to go to https://fm2009.sa01.softanchorinsight.com. Note: on this visit, you will be allowed without trouble.

From here –

1) Reopen your FM2009 game

2) Enter your key into the Activation Dialog

3) Select the “Online” activation

4) Press Next

You game should activate immediately.

If you are install the certificate incorrectly, the error message will still be visible – for more help on installing correctly, please visit:

Please note: You will require your system clock to be set correctly, failure to do so will cause an error with HTTPS. Please therefore ensure your system time and date are set correctly.

No, being wireless is not the problem. Check out the opening post in the following thread, there is a section called 'You receive the ‘Error: Application was unable to connect to the internet. Please check your connection.’ ' and that explains what you need to do.
