Problem installing

Just recently got a new laptop, when I went to load FM up on it I decided to use the same Steam account as I have got the game installed on, on my old laptop.

Now when I retype the authentication code that I got with my game into steam it says I have already registered the game with it but everytime I click to play the game a Softanchor pop up comes up which I hadn't came across before even when installing the game on my old one when I first got it.

When I type my code into that it just comes up with "The application was unable to connect to the internet" - I have downloaded something that I got on this site that is supposed to get the game to work but that also failed.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Not sure if you have already tried this but if not give it a go:

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.

I get on that website fine without the certificate error

Mever mind I just left the site on and retyped the code and it seemed to work, thanks a lot for your help mate.
