chopper99 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Like my copy I bought this morning, but can'y play because of the DRM The only reason you can't play the game is because you haven't yet been able to figure out how to use the DRM activation. That's not the same as the DRM being flawed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jey_ring Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 It tries to activate/authenticate whatever, but says the "program cannot connect to the internet", which is strange, as I am currently online. Is there a trick to get the SodtAnchor thing to function or what? Have already registered on steam, with the product key being good. I have the hard copy in my cd-drive, and my frustration is growing. Today is the 14th right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

_GT_ Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Just bought FM2009 as a budget game. Product key is on the back of the manual, but the game says its invalid. Lots of online resources tell me to use http://keylookup.fm2009.softanchorinsight.com/, but that site doesn't work. How on earth are you supposed to register the game??? Given that the product key + registering process is clearly flawed, is there a way to play without registering? I don't really want to download a crack for the game, but if it is this hard to play legitimally, then I'll have to do that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Please do not talk about using a crack on thr developers forum For your issue, download and install the 9.3.1 patch and it does away with the activation issue http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/173216-Patch-for-Football-Manager-2009-9.3.1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
