nervo1234 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hi chaps, Just downloaded Football Manager 2009 because Football Manager 2010 wasn't available to download online for Mac and I really want to play it NOW! I'm getting the error message is: "The Serial number validation failed. Please ensure you entered the correct serial number -Key is incorrect length" If someone could please help me and the person who gives me the correct solution, I'll offer them £10 Much appreciated Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftg87 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Where did you download it from? FM10 is available for Macs via esellerate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUBI Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 The solution would be to buy the game, not just to download it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nervo1234 Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 I downloaded it from GAME UK - It's just not having it at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtyscarab Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Never seen cash rewards for advice offered on this forum before. Let's have more of the same in my opinion Seriously though, I suspect you'll have trouble with this considering a newer version of your game is out and error message threads for fm09 are likely to be buried deep. Hopefully some boffin from SI will spot this and help. My computer knowledge is rubbish unfortunately. Also, you may want to offer us your computer specs... Here's how if you're not sure: http://community.sigames.com/showpost.php?p=2062044&postcount=5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mavericktangoII Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 check you have the correct characters, there was a lot of problems with FM09 with recognisin which was 0 (zero)and which was o (letter) as they seemed both the same. Don't know if it's the same for FM10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoobyBlah Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Yeah I just copied and pasted from the one they gave me. Oh well, it's letting me play without validating it. So I might just leave it till it causes a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
