Optimus Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Hey, I tried launching FM09 today, hwoever I get greeted with a message to enter my activation key. I purchased this game voer Steam, so I right click - view CD key - copy then paste it into the dialog box. However, it tells me the key is in use and asks me to purcahse one? What the hell is going on? I DID purcahse one! Now I have to purchase another? Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimland Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 My game did that a couple of days ago aswell. In the end I had to uninstall it and install it again. I just opened up steam and chose the option to remove the local stuff and then redownload and install it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
